hey ! a quick update as we are progressing. The website went through some slights updates of content and we are now going to open the registration. The main challenge we have is to get the funding to pay for the fixed costs, like safety, insurance (it cost an arm and a leg). We also plan to put some timers but it cost another leg but we’ll make it !
This is going to be a meet up from a global community; people are coming from everywhere and even some you tubers are also coming. This will be a good blend of what the community is about nowadays and I really like that ! All the money captured will directly go into the event. 100%.
In terms of sponsors that are giving prizes and supporting the event, Frederic from eBoard is joining and I also got an helmet from Ruroc as a prize. People from Arcboard are also going to participate and some other great names are coming.
We’re looking to have an event t-shirt but you know, we are pretty bad at graphics or visuals. Website was already a nightmare to get it online.
We thought that it would be cool to reach out to the community for people to design visuals for the event t-shirt. All the sales will go directly into the event (100%) and the name of the winner will be written down on the t-shirt for credits and will get a huge hug party from all the people attending.
So, who’s in to design some visuals for the t-shirt of this event?
The key drivers are obviously : electric riding, sharing, racing, community, van gogh (Auvers is Van Gogh city), Paris, Eiffel Tower and have to mention “It’s Electric” and “Carve UK”.
Thanks folks !

Great work mate and to everybody else involved so far! I’ll happily have a play at designing the T-shirt. It’s worth noting that most T-shirt printers will need a CMYK 300dpi image to print good quality shirts.
I’m also more than happy to donate It’s Electric stickers for the event! Let me know if that would be welcome? Happy to sponsor too!
Cheers!

Hi mate, It’s great you are willing to help out and possibly join what is now a really good group of sponsors! I’ll send you a PM with some details.
In the meantime, I’d also like to shout out to the community and see if anyone would like to volunteer to help us run some of the events, setting up the routes, etc. We’re not doing this for profit and we’re definitely running on a shoestring budget, so anyone willing to help out is more than welcome. We’d obviously waive participation costs, and throw in some small freebies to show our appreciation.

Absolutely, the more people applying their T-shirt designing skills the better! 
Looking forward to seeing what the creatives in the ESK8 community can come up with! (Myself and a friend are going to try)
Side note: Is the website down?

I would volunteer but I don’t think I would be a positive image for your lovely event after the first night of debauchery.
@GingerSteve, @bigben are we travelling together and sleeping in the wild or hotels?
