Dear Wikimedia Colombia,

On 14 February, 2022, Creative Commons launched the Open Culture Remix Art Contest https://creativecommons.org/2022/02/14/cc-open-culture-remix-art-contest-2022-ccsharesculture/. We are pleased to invite all Wikimedians, including the Wikimedia Foundation, Wikimedia Chapters and Wikimedia Communities, to participate in this contest and promote it widely in your circles.

This contest’s main goal is to encourage visual artists to create new art by remixing existing public domain or CC-BY licensed cultural heritage from open access collections.

With this competition, we celebrate GLAMs’ (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums) freely available heritage collections and their reuse potential for contemporary creativity and the dissemination and revitalization of culture.

To make it easier for potential entrants to find and use creative works from heritage collections, Creative Commons maintains a list of GLAM institutions https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_NRg0oFO4_PW2kaqIw88S0_pxc6JFHJfDvP7Il1s2e4/edit that steward public domain works and/or works available under a CC-BY license. Please feel free to suggest institutions for the list by using this form https://creativecommons.forms.fm/open-culture-art-remix-contest/forms/9098 .

We warmly invite you to share this invitation to participate in the contest with your networks and communities.

You are welcome to share our tweet announcing the contest https://twitter.com/creativecommons/status/1493227894902042624?s=20&t=yL0wicppRrHB56JTFr8_-A with your audience as well as our social media announcements on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ9zBMnq0Cj/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link, Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6899036939270320128, and Facebook https://www.facebook.com/18870062776/posts/10159540984172777/?d=n.
