Pooling ideas competition

Calling anybody who's ever used a computer: set your creativity loose on the world of music, literature, art and video that is free to play with, remix and manipulate.

Pooling Ideas is an exciting competition being run by Creative Commons Australia, ABC Pool and the ARC Centre of Excellence for Creative Industries and Innovation as part of the Ideas Festival (a major initiative of the Queensland Government). It aims to get the digital artist in all of us up and running by inviting people to create their own remix works based around the theme "we are what we share".

From 2-23 March, mash up a film, tweak an artwork, remix a poem - whatever takes your fancy - then upload it to Pool .

The winner gets an internship with ABC Radio National to co-produce an episode of The Night Air, while runners up get Creative Commons packs including USBs chock full of remixable material. Select works will be showcased at the Ideas Festival and pulled apart by our panel of experts at the We Are what We Share seminar (Saturday 28th, 5-6:30pm, State Library of Queensland).

So get involved and let us see what you can do with CC material.
