participate in this:
On the occasion of the
60th anniversary of India's independence,
Creative Commons India
is organizing a short film contest, on
"Better governance
through Right To Information".
We at
Creative Commons [
CC, India
] feel that the effective use of the Right to
Information is really critical for creating better
governance models across the length and breadth of
our country. The CC movement and the RTI campaign
commonly believe that information made available
either through disclosure or through liberal
copyright licensing is a great public asset. Such
ease of access can play a decisive role in creating
more transparency, accountability and hopefully more
citizen participation in daily governance.
Creative Commons [CC], India seeks to provide
a decisively more flexible approach to copyrighting.
It believes in empowering the user by voluntarily
waving away some of its copyrights.
Contestants are invited to make a short film up to 5
minutes in length in Hindi or English on preferably
a true dramatization of
'Better governance
through Right To Information'.
The Films on a
CD must reach Prof. Shishir Jha by OCTOBER 14, 2007.
The top 5 films will be given exciting awards and
chosen for viewing at Avenues at a special prize
distribution ceremony.
Dates:
September 05: Registration for contest starts
October 14: Closing of registration. Entries on CD
must reach Prof. Shishir Jha.
October 25: Declaration of results on sites
October 27/28: Prize distribution ceremony during
Avenues, IIT Bombay.
