This idea has been inspired by the UbuntuFreeCultureShowcase
Our team wants to address various social, cultural, political and technologically relevant issues and we want to shake things up a little bit. At the heart of Swatantra's ethos is a belief in showcasing free software and free culture, and we think it would be an excellent opportunity to show off some free culture artists by utilising their media in various global campaigns. Although the time restrictions are tight, we think this is too good an opportunity to miss.
So, we present the Swatantra Free Culture Showcase. http://swatantra.org/wiki/index.php?title=SwatantraFreeCultureShowcase
How it works is pretty simple:
Your submission must be no larger than 1Minute for the audio and 3Minutes for the video.
Upload your submission somewhere online (there are lots of free hosting solutions available such as archive.org). Do not email any of the organisers or judges with your submissions.
When the deadline for submissions closes, our panel of judges(Mrs. Shobana Mathews, Mr. Sunil Chandy, Mr. Anil Pinto) will pick a shortlist, and will then pick the final winners from the shortlist.
The deadline for submissions is 20th November 2008
