[FC-discuss] Research Remix Contest Launches for OA Week!

[Gabi@IssueLab.org]

Hey all:

I am hoping you can spread the word about a totally unique remix contest
that is launching today in celebration of Open Access week.

IssueLab's Research Remix contest asks participants (maybe you?) to remix
facts from one or more of the 300+ Creative Commons licensed reports on
IssueLab with openly licensed video footage or openly licensed images and
music. 

Here is all the info about the contest http://www.issuelab.org/researchremix

There are some great prizes, including a netbook and flip cam and a terrific
panel of judges from the nonprofit and digital arts worlds, including
Patrick Lichty from the Yes Men, Abina Manning from Video Data Bank and
Allison Fine from Demos.

This contest is really unique in that it is focused so squarely on
connecting students and working artists with the valuable research that
nonprofits do ... while spotlighting the critical importance of open
licensing in this process of remixing for social change. We really hope that
it can inspire some great collaboration!

Please let me know if you have any questions. We really want to get as many
people as possible to spread the word about this cool contest!

Best,

Gabi
