In celebration of the 20th Anniversary of Creative Commons licenses, they are excited to announce the launch of brand new Open Culture Remix Art Contest #CCSharesCulture to celebrate better sharing of cultural heritage throughout the world.
Better sharing of cultural heritage can unlock tremendous creative potential, as people remix content in new and inventive ways. The goal for #CCSharesCulture is to showcase the astonishing creativity that open access to cultural heritage can trigger. Together, we can show how open access positively impacts contemporary culture and creativity outside institutional contexts, and how it is a true engine for cultural and social development.
Participants can reuse public domain or CC BY-licensed images, paintings, photographs, drawings, etc. digitized in open collections from anywhere in the world to create, submit, and share original artworks.
