The Past Re-Imagined as the Future: Remix Contest with Prelinger Archives
WFMU and the Free Music Archive is conducting a video remix contest called “Sound for the Moving Image: The Past Re-imagined As The Future.” The contest invites artists everywhere to mix video from the Prelinger Archives Collection with audio from the Free Music Archive to create new masterpieces for the commons.
