It’s that time of year again. From now until December 31, Creative Commons is holding their second annual fundraiser. Besides the usual donating cash, buying swag, or spreading the word, this year there are two new ways to support CC:

First, Creative Commons and viral video site Revver have teamed up to spread the CC message and fundraise at the same time. Creative Commons has uploaded several of their best videos to Revver, including new video “Wanna Work Together?”. Normally Revver splits ad revenue from uploaded videos 50/50 with the creator; until the end of the year, however, 100% of the money goes to Creative Commons! So watch some videos, click some ads, and send them around. It’s an easy way to help fundraise.

Second, Creative Commons is hosting a CC Swag Photo Contest! Just take a funky picture of Creative Commons merchandise (t-shirts, stickers, whatever), license it CC-BY, and upload it to Flickr. (Full rules and whatnot are on the contest site.) Each week from now until December 18, Creative Commons will choose a winner and feature their photo on the Creative Commons website. At the end of the contest, two overall winners will each get 100 copies of a CC informational postcard featuring their photo and a personalized voicemail announcement recorded by the Creative Commons board member of his or her choice!

This week’s winner was FreeCulture.org board member Gavin Baker with his CC frisbee. Think you can do better? Get photographin’!
