Dear friends,

ACIA (Internationl Workshop on Asia and Commons in the Information Age)
will be taking place in Taipei, Taiwan on Jan 19 and 20, 2008:

> http://meeting.creativecommons.org.tw/

ACIA challenges to bring with you as many ideas as you could!

Aside from the main conference, we will also have a poster contest.
We are especially looking for two themes:

  1. the different ideas of "commons" in different Asian cultures, and
  2. case studies of people or projects engaged in the commons in Asia.

You can find more details in the call-for-poster section below (two themes!).

  * Prize: There will be a SURPRISE PRIZE for the winner of each theme!

    The winner will be judged by popular votes by workshop participants.

  * Who can participate?

    All those who have great ideas about the two themes! Those of you
    who may not be able to attend the conference, this is a great way
    for you to be part of it (and you may also win the PRIZE)!

  * In what language shall the submission be?

    English. (Unfortunately this seems to be the language that
    works for most judges of this contest.)

  * Dimension: A1 size, in portrait orientation
    (Width: 594 mm / 23.4 in, Length: 841 mm / 33.1 in)

  * Deadline: All submissions should be received by Jan 11 2008 (GMT-12).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Theme I: WHAT IS A "COMMONS"?

Please help us to think about what the idea of "commons" is in different
Asian cultures by giving an example (an object / a place / a practice, etc.)
which may represent the idea of "commons" in the context of your culture.

On the poster, please indicate which culture you wish to speak for,
provide at least one image (or one main image with supporting images)
and a short paragraph (approx. 300 words) to explain what it is and
why it represents the idea of "commons".

  * Submission Options:

Option 1 : (This option is for all interested submitters.)
Submitters should put image(s) and the text together in a file
of PDF or image format, and email the completed poster to
Shun-ling Chen (shunling [at] gmail [dot] com) by Jan 11th 2008.

You can either bring your own poster output to the workshop,
or ask the workshop organizer to print your file to
an A1-sized portrait poster (the print may vary in quality).
Please indicate in your submission whether you would like
the organizer to do the output.

Option 2 : (This option is only for submitters who will attend the conference.)
Submitters may send the image(s) and the text to Shun-ling Chen
(shunling [at] gmail [dot] com) by Jan 11th 2008 to complete
your submission procedure. Submitters then bring the print-outs
of the images and/or text to the workshop venue and complete
the poster on-site. The organizer will provide a blank
A1-sized portrait poster. Submitter who chooses this option
should put the poster together no later than 5 pm, Jan 18 th.

Contact shunling [at] gmail [dot] com for any questions.

Theme II: ASIA AND THE COMMONS CASE STUDY POSTER

Those of you who participate in the Asia and the commons case study project
may consider reconfigure your case study into a poster and
provide a perspective on the "commons".

Check out the case study project for more information:

> http://meeting.creativecommons.org.tw/case-study-project

For submissions and enquiries, please contact the CCau case studies research officer,
Rachel Cobcroft, on rachel[at]creativecommons[dot]org[dot]au.

Submission of the reconfigured poster should direct to
shunling [at] gmail [dot] com by Jan 11 2008.

(The deadline for the submission of the case study itself is Dec 31 2007.)

Please indicate in your submission whether you would like
the organizers to do the output. (The print may vary in quality.)
