Creative Commons' UK film competition "Mix & Mash" in association with
Google UK invites short video submissions mixing and mashing digital
content. Submissions can be made from the 8th of February to the 10th of
March. The winners will be notified by the 12th of March and screened on

Remixing digital content is the basis for this competition. Digital
pictures, sound or films licensed through Creative Commons and Public

remix the work of others with their own. The result will be a collage of
original and re-used material.

Britannia Rules / Britannia Sucks

Films will be made available online under a Creative Commons
Noncommercial license. For terms and conditions, and more details go
