The 2026 theme
“A Work Of Heart”
At its core, at the centre of Kiwiburn, is community. We work together as a team to create magic. Every effort, big or small, builds upon Kiwiburn’s legacy.
Kiwiburn isn’t just a party in a paddock – it’s a living, breathing labour of love, powered by volunteers, artists, theme camps, dreamers and tireless legends who build the magic from the grass up. Countless volunteers and artists dedicate their time, skills and resources to this event every year.
Kiwiburn isn’t just made – it’s crafted, shared, and held together by heart. It’s time to highlight and appreciate that.
So say it loud and proud – Love your Burn!
We have a theme, but what about the poster!?
Untold glory and accolades will be awarded to the artist who can best capture the essence of Kiwiburn’s 2026 Theme in a poster format. You will see it everywhere, as the winning design will be adapted for stickers, wristbands and volunteer patches too. The competition is open to all graphic artists, and those who have a fabulous idea (and a designer friend who can turn your idea into usable artwork).
You have until 9pm Sunday 29 June 2025 to submit your ideas, so get going and give those creative juices free rein.
