IssueLab’s RESEARCH REMIX: Creative Use of nonprofit research.

We are huge fans of Creative Commons and believe that nonprofits create some of the most informative, educational and a lot of times- entertaining content on the web. Online tools have made it easier to share with the world our videos, images, audio and more! In this spirit of open source, sharing and innovation with the social web, our friends over at IssueLab have come up with Research Remix.

According to their website, “Contestants will be asked to remix facts from one or more of the 300+ Creative Commons licensed reports on IssueLab with openly licensed video footage or openly licensed images and music.”

This seems like a perfect opportunity for nonprofits to push their content while learning more about issues and gathering data from other sources. Top prizes include a NetBook, Flip Camera Ultra, PSP games and the pretty sweet Create Commons t-shirts.

Nonprofit communicators, media producers, videographers, bloggers, podcasters and more should enjoy this challenge. Read more about it at http://www.issuelab.org/researchremix.
