Call for participation:
The
Blair Bush Project poses an opportunity for world citizens to
contribute their opinion
in the form of video, sound, images or text. Note that although
ownership will remain with the contributor, all content is sans-copyright
and available for www distribution.
Video: may be
in any compression format, but must be under 1MB. Note that we may
re-compress. Please email
before sending. If you would like to include a larger video, you
may upload it to your own server, and email us the address; we will
then house it in our format and link to your site.
Sound: may be
in any compression format, but must be under 1MB. Note that we may
re-compress. Please email
before sending. If you would like to include a larger sound piece,
you may upload it to your own server, and email us the address;
we will then house it in our format and link to your site.
Images: our preferred
images are 72dpi, smaller than 8 x 10, and JPEG or GIF compressed,
for the web. These images will be used for printable
posters and/or t-shirts on The Blair Bush
site. Other images may be sent
for use in new video footage.
Text: You may
send us your stories, opinion
pieces, or slogans for use in varying media. Format may be MS Word,
text email, html, or scanned in letters (please compress for web).
Video + Sound will be
viewed online, whereas images may be printed out and used as posters/t-shirts.
For example, if you send us a poster from Tokyo, a New Yorker may
print it out from our site for personal use. Your text may be uploaded
in its original format, and/or read as a sound piece. At your permission,
we may edit visuals and sound into larger works.
We strongly encourage
the use of our content in local spaces.
