Contestants will be asked 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. We prefer one minute pieces but will accept all submissions under three minutes.
Contestants can create pieces from scratch or remix a previous video they’ve created, adding nonprofit research in a creative way. All final videos must be openly licensed and will be made available to the organizations whose research was remixed. Vimeo Groups will serve as the contest platform.
IssueLab’s Research Remix contest is open to students, youth media groups, visual sociologists, working artists and otherwise socially concerned citizens across the U.S. One video submission per participant.
All video submissions must be uploaded to the Vimeo contest platform by 5:00 pm Central, on December 31st, 2009.
Winning videos will be selected by an independent panel of judges. Winning videos will be chosen from a group of finalists and announced in the second half of January, 2010 and promoted by IssueLab on YouTube and other social media networks. Winning videos will be screened at a live event in Chicago, and will be made available to nonprofit organizations and other communities in compliance with the “Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0″ license applied.
