IssueLab’s Research Remix Contest: CFW

issuelab_logoThe very smart people over at IssueLab are holding a Research Remix contest, asking for video contributions of under three minutes based on research available through their networks, aiming to highlight the ease of use, flexibility, and potential impact of open licensing.

Contestants will be asked to remix facts or data from one of over 300 openly licensed research reports on IssueLab into a video or animation under three minutes in length. Winners will be selected after the December 31, 2009 deadline, and nonprofits will be able to use all submitted videos freely to support their causes. . . . IssueLab’s Co-Director Gabriela Fitz explained, “it is especially important that nonprofits consider openly licensing their research and resources. By giving people the ability to re-use, remix, and share research on social issues we can much better inform and engage public debate and public policy”.

All video entries must include facts or data from at least one Creative Commons licensed listing in the IssueLab archive, and address the social issue covered in the report. All video submissions must be licensed using a Creative Commons “Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0″ license.

Read the full Call for Entries here, and send in videos before December 31.
