Theme: Ursa Major
You are not required to match the theme with your coord, but it is encouraged.

Ursa Major is a theme that focuses on our home state of California, as well as constellations in the night sky. You may choose to dress in motifs that are emblematic of the Golden State, such bears and other wildlife, forests, and costal imagery, or take inspiration from the sky above! 

 

To submit multiple coords, please submit a new form for each submission.
