Meanwhile, my F lickr Photo Birthday Card Remix Contest has 14 photos in it! It is going to be very difficult for the judges (my kids) to choose a winner - they are all so creative, funny, and expertly remixed. The contest runs till the end of the month. I also like the variety of causes people care about.

Flickr Photo Birthday Remix Contest. Ultimately, 22 remix photos were posted, slightly less than half of the people who joined. Using a flickr group for contest was a good strategy because as the admin, you can easily add and remove photos and dups. As many of you know, I celebrated a milestone birthday this month.

If more of us are screencasting, then all I have to do is remix other people's work, provided they've licensed their material using creative commons licensing. And, if you are so inclined, you can vote a thumbs up as I entered it into the contest. I've heard that there will be more screencasting or at least one as this blogger notes.
