Digital Story Creative Remix
-
Sponsored by:
The National Library of New Zealand
$2000 will go to the best digital remix that tells “A New Zealand Aotearoa Story” using Creative Commons, public domain, no known copyright, or openly licensed New Zealand digital content. Be it our history retold, a traditional story refreshed, a tale about a NZer, or a ‘day in the life’ with a particular NZ flavour – we want to see digital content re-mixed in a fresh and interesting way to tell a uniquely New Zealand story.
In addition, we also have a special prize pool for the best entries from New Zealand Primary and Secondary students. Our Free to Remix educators' guide provides great advice on how to get started making a digital story with support for finding openly licensed New Zealand content.
Things you need to know:
- Your entry can contain a range of media. You must use at least one piece of New Zealand digital content.
- You must have the rights and permission to use all content in your digital story. Remember to always check the usage rights on the content owners’ sites.
- You need to provide the details of all content you use when you submit your entry.
- Please make sure you read and understand the full competition rules.
To Inspire you
Within the competition rules, you can create any New Zealand Aotearoa digital story you like. Here are some ideas that use remixable content. You don’t have to use these unless you want to. We just wanted to give you some examples to inspire you:
How could you retell the Story of NZ Merino Wool?
The Story of NZ Merino Wool (Remix). A digital storytelling project by Anne Galloway and Samantha Carew.
These two short videos were developed for a general audience and present a brief cultural history of New Zealand merino. Design Culture Lab would love to see their digital story remixed and retold from different perspectives and in different styles. Visit Design Culture Lab for more information and access to the content.

Martin Jetpack has also agreed to let you use the publicly available content on their website, which includes some great photos and videos.

This is the sound of a magnitude 5 earthquake in a shed in Christchurch on 19 September 2010.
How could you tell a story from the shed’s perspective? Or the gumboot in the corner? Or the tarpaulin on the shelf? Or...?
