Winner of the Creative Commons 2006 Photo Schwag Contest I believe in setting my content free. People can add and embellish your content and if you have access to the remix, it can give you new ideas. Here's a few (good) examples of how I have remixed other people's work or other people have remixed my work.

My 50th birthday is this month and I'm celebrating it with a Flickr Photo Birthday Card Remix Contest. I'm also using this as an action research project to figure out a few things about flickr contests and user-generated content which I'll report back later IF ENOUGH people participate. Need some inspiration?

Flickr Photo Birthday Remix Contest. I set up a flickr group, uploaded some instructions and some photos from the past half-century, and invited people to celebrate. Ultimately, 22 remix photos were posted, slightly less than half of the people who joined. 54 people joined the group. The cards were amazing!

This year I'm indulging in three of my passions: raising money for Cambodian children with social media, teaching a social media nonprofit strategy class, and eating chocolate. The session will begin with a brief presentation that describes my past three social media infused birthday celebrations.
