Free Music Archive Remix Contest

As we have seen during the OKFest hackathon, there is some great potential for artists lying in the public domain.

To show this potential, the Free Music Archive has teamed up with the Prellinger Archive and started a video remix contest called “Sound for the Moving Image: The Past Re-imagined As The Future.” The contest invites artists everywhere to mix video from the incredible Prelinger Archives Collection with audio from the Free Music Archive to create new masterpieces for the commons. The point of this contest is to showcase the creative possibilities of open digital archives like these.

Even if you are not interested in participating, it is very worthwhile to check out the ‘inspiration’ section and have a look at some great video/music remixes.
