You can find the application here.The 2011-2012 policy period will run from April 25, 2011 – April 24, 2012. Insurance for this 12-month period is $215. Please note: Specialty Insurance does not accept debit or credit cards, you need to send a check or money order VIA mail service; expect processing to take about a week.The 2011 – 2012 shared policy limits of coverage for all members are as follows:Each Occurrence:$3,000,000(bodily injury & property damage to others)Damage to Rented   Premises:$100,000(to rented   premises)Personal &   Advertising Injury:$3,000,000(hurting someone’s   feelings)General Aggregate:$5,000,000(the most the   policy will pay out during the policy year)Products – Completed   Op. Agg.:$5,000,000(the most the   policy will pay out during the policy year)Medical   Expenses:$5,000(emergency   medical to others injured by you)There are also 6-, 3- and 1-month policy periods at a sliding scale cost. For those who prefer to purchase insurance on an event-to-event basis rather than annual coverage, the cost for insurance is $125/per person per event, and once issued, the certificate of insurance will expire after seven days. So if you’re looking to perform more than once a year, the annual coverage policy really is your best bet.The policy isn’t cheap, but that’s the thing about insurance – no one really thinks that they need the coverage, until they do, and suddenly they’re staring at a potentially enormous pile of liability costs.So protect yourself and protect the community: renew your performance insurance today.Comments (0)2011Apr 19Lakes of Fire tickets on sale today!Filed under: community,event,fire performance,performance — Tags: burning man, festival, lakes of fire, regional event —  WildfireWeaver @ 11:29 amTickets for Lakes of Fire, the Great Lakes Regional Burning Man event, go on sale today at 12pm EST.
