New Zealander’s are being encouraged to use their digital savvy to create a music video for a Flying Nun Records track, as part of the Great NZ Remix & Mashup competition. The competition challenges Kiwis to develop new creative content using existing New Zealand digital content and data.
Using one of the music tracks of Kiwi songs provided by Flying Nun, entrants must create their own music video, using archived footage from Archives New Zealand.
The winner will be decided in part by popular vote using the MusicHy.pe voting tool.
Up for grabs is MinoHD Flip video camera and a prize package from NZ On Air, MusicHype, and NZ On Screen, plus the chance to win the supreme prize of a Macintosh laptop.
All entries go in to win the Creative Commons award for the supreme NZ remix, awarded to the most outstanding remix entry that includes Creative Commons licensed material. The supreme prize is a Macbook Pro.
The competition, organised by DigitalNZ, NZ On Screen, Creative Commons NZ, Open New Zealand, data.govt.nz, Creative Freedom and the National Library, aims to encourage New Zealanders to use, and be inspired by, existing free digital content and data in their own creative work. It also aims to strengthen relationships between digital content and data producers, software developers and creative communities.
