Remix Reading remix contest

Tom Chance, the co-organizer of the remarkable Remix Reading event, sez,

After an extremely successful launch event, we're running a remix competition. Over the next month, we want to see who can create the best remix of a piece of work already on the website.

There will be four winners, one in each category (audio, image, text, video). They will each receive the following great prizes:

* Your work on a LOCA Records compilation CD (if LOCA like it enough)
* A Creative Commons t-shirt
* A DVD full of great Creative Commons videos
* A copy me / remix me compilation CD
* A copy of the Wired CD and that issue of the Wired magazine
* A CD from LOCA Records
* Stickers, badges and fake tattoos

We really want to see some cross-genre mixing (e.g. a punk version of some electronica) and cross-medium mixing (e.g. a video to accompany music or a poem based on a photo).
