While most of the exciting super secret details of Mix and Mash are tightly under wraps until the launch, the award for Best Mash-up…so far is open for nominations!  This award is decided by popular vote and will recognize the people's choice for best NZ mash-up out there right now.  Nominations close at midday on 29 July, voting will open on 4 August and run until the close of the competition on 15 September. Nominate your favourite NZ mash-up before it's too late:

The folks at Squiz have built a sweet suite of tools to help people participate in Mix and Mash.  You can submit ideas for mash-ups if you don't think you are able to build them yourself.  You can browse ideas if you want to build something but need inspiration.  There's even a matchmaking service available, to help build teams with a variety of skills.  Ooh-la-la!
