Swem Library, the W&M Film Studies Program, and the Mercury sGIG invite the campus community to participate in the RECYCLED VIDEO CONTEST.  Join us to celebrate Earth Day, Remix Culture, and to promote an awareness of the importance of the public domain at The College of William and Mary. The contest is designed to promote the reuse and recycling of existing public domain video content from the Prelinger Archives in the creation of new derivative works.

This contest is, strictly speaking, an editing contest. The increasing availability and accessibility of software and hardware has opened up unprecedented opportunities for individuals to create their own audio-visual messages and meanings. This contest will showcase the creativity of the W&M community and promote an awareness of the rich resources available for content creation and distribution.

NOTE: YOU MUST REGISTER BEFORE SUBMITTING YOUR ENTRY.  REGISTER BY VISITING SWEM MEDIA CENTER (GROUND FLOOR, SWEM)
REGISTRATION DEADLINE IS APRIL 1, 2009
