Why the Video Contest Worked Video contests are one of the most challenging kinds of participatory projects to pull off.

It is what it sounds like: a book of original sheet music, beautifully designed and complemented with artwork and text.

Even ArtPrize , the "radically open" art festival that was judged last year by public vote alone, will incorporate a juried contest as well this year.

Hold a music related event. Focus on gathering people together and including fun side events or contests.

Fundraise a walk or run which can be for a set distance or a number of laps.

Some of these people are professional artists or exhibit designers, but most are just talented folks with an interest in museums. They aren't commissioned to create exhibits; they're invited to take part in a contest. The exhibits that have been selected were created by members of our virtual community. It's lovely.

You enter a seed artist or song (or several) and Pandora starts playing music that it interprets as related in some way to your selections. It doesn’t just group artists together and play music by similar musicians. In this way, Pandora makes inferences about what you might like and introduces you to new music.
