$2000 will go to the best photo remix that explores the theme “Past and present, then and now, yesterday and tomorrow”. We want to see a single, still image that remixes one or more Creative Commons, public domain, no known copyright, or openly licensed New Zealand images in a fresh and interesting way.

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 photo remix and with support for finding openly licensed New Zealand content.

Things you need to know:

• 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 entry. Remember to always check the usage rights on the content owners’ sites.
• You need to provide the details of all content that you use when you submit your entry.
• Please make sure you read and understand the full competition rules.

To inspire you

Within the theme and competition rules, you have plenty of scope for creativity. 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:
