Hello All --

Participatory Culture is pleased to announce -- appropriately enough --
an open-source design competition for our open-source internet TV
platform, currently called DTV. You can win cash prizes by designing a
new interface for the video player or telling all the designers you know
about the contest. This is also a good chance to take a sneak peek at
what the video player looks like, so check out the contest --
http://www.participatorycutlure.org/contest.

This is a call for socially-minded graphic designers to contribute major
design elements of our flagship product, the video player DTV. We're
offering $1000 for work on the DTV interface itself, and $300 for work
on a DTV logo. You can also win $200 for spreading the word to all your
designer friends on your blog or by word of mouth. If your friend/reader
happens to win the $1000 prize, we'll give you $200. This contest is a
good way to start making internet television feel good and look good.
Contest starts now and ends July 31st 2005.


Check out http://participatoryculture.org/contest/ for more information
and the rules of submissions. We have some pretty good starting points
in terms of graphic design, but we're always open to more suggestions,
hence the contest.

Basically, we're pleased to hold this design contest because it's a
natural companion to our work building on open-source code. As the
contest website says: we want to create a serious, independent
alternative to commercial television that gives everyone access. If you
believe that our technology and approach have a real chance to
democratize mass media, then we need you to help us design our software
at a level that rivals any proprietary, corporate media platform.

So please visit http://participatoryculture.org/contest/ , and feel free
to contact us at [log in to unmask] for more information. Thanks and
let's make internet TV happen in a thoroughly collaborative manner.

Good luck and spread the word,

Holmes Wilson
