DigitalNZ have launched Mix & Mash 2013!  This is a competition that is about encouraging people to be creative with material that is free and legal to reuse, remix, mashup, to tell stories by re-purposing “open stuff” in compelling ways.

The programme for 2013 differs from the 2010 & 2011 competitions.  In 2013 there are three deadlines spread out across the year (May, August and November).  This means entrants can plan and pace their entries and learn from what others are doing. Prizes will be awarded throughout 2013 with special awards at the end of the year.

This years theme is “The New Storytelling” and entrants are challenged to weave openly licensed digital content and data into an original story.  The focus for the May competition window is “Stories about the past“.
