Using Creative Commons content
If you've new to the Creative Commons licences and have found some CC
material you'd like to use for the competition, take a look at our licences explained page or get in contact for some friendly tips on how it all works (not legal advice).
This competition is very important for rewarding those who can re-use
content and datasets in ways that are creative, that solve real world
problems or display a truly innovative spark. We encourage the New
Zealand Creative Commons community to get involved, since showcasing
what can be done with open access materials encourages our State
Agencies and cultural institutions to apply open access wherever they
can. The more we creatively draw upon our Kiwi commons, the more reason
we have for unlocking knowledge for the benefit of all.
