What is this?
As part of the FreeCulture.org national summit, Free Culture Swarthmore is throwing a Pirate Party!
Saturday, April 22nd Friday, April 21st, 10pm-2am
Upper Tarble, Swarthmore College
There will be costumes, remixes, eyepatches, and ARRRR.
Music video contest!
For the Pirate Party, we want to show pirate-themed music videos while we dance. Thus, we are also holding a Pirate Video Remix Contest! The top three video remixes will each receive a snazzy FreeCulture.org t-shirt--a fine vestment for any pirate.
Rules:
- The remixes/mash-ups should feature at least 10 seconds of recognizeable pirates (the traditional ARRR MATEY sea-going pirates). The entire video doesn't have to be pirates, but there should be a few clips to remind people that this is in fact a pirate party.
- The music needs a beat that people can groove to. Extra points if the music is plunderphonics or otherwise exercises your fair use rights, but the primary requirement is that the music be danceable.
- The music video should be placed somewhere online where we can download it, in a format that VLC can play. MP4 or MOV will work fine. Archive.org is an excellent place to host your video.
- The deadline is April 21st at 5pm EDT, because the party itself starts at 10pm and we need time to download the videos.
How to submit:
Just e-mail a link to your video to freedom@freeculture.org, and we'll do the rest.
