USC students take note: you can win a bad-ass Neuros OSD set-top box if you produce the winning mashup of George Romero's Night of the Living Dead in a Hallowe'en remix contest:
Free Culture USC is hosting a remix competition where you get your hands dirty remixing George Romero's Night of the Living Dead into a 5 minute short in any style of your liking. The winner (or winning team) will receive a Neuros OSD open-source media player. Oh man, too cool!
We will be holding a screening/pizza party for all the shorts on Sunday, October 29th. This is where your short will first be screened – after the screening we will post them on our website for the world to see and vote upon! The winner will be announced the following Sunday (Nov. 5th) at the 'Remixing the Archive' Visions and Voices event at the Institute for Multimedia Literacy, where hundreds of people will have the opportunity to see your work.
(Thanks, Cameron!)
