Matt Wiggins, dressed as a sea monster with a fish head, "kills" Liz; Carrie, Ashton, and James lie collapsed around the set.

Desert Bus for Hope may have monsters and mythos galore, but you know what we're missing? A map! For tonight's creative challenge, we're asking you for an atlas-worthy rendering of what Desert Bus might look like as a place.

Decide what that means to you, draw it in the medium of your choice, and then submit it as a .jpg (no bigger than 1920 x 1080 p, please!) to contests@desertbus.org with subject line "Desert Bus map". The winning entrant will receive the physical manifestation of hype that is the Desert Bus loot box!

The deadline for submissions is 10:30 pm PST. We look forward to finding our place in the world!
