Creative Commons Launches Photo Contest on Flickr 

 

Winners’ Photos to Be Featured on CC Postcards; Winners Can Also Choose a CC Board 

Member to Record a Personalized Outgoing Voicemail Message 

 

San Francisco, CA — November 8, 2006 

 

Today, Creative Commons announced the launch of the first CC Swag Photo Contest on 

Flickr. The contest is part of Creative Commons’ Annual Fundraising Campaign and 

runs through December 18, 2006. Contest information and rules can be found at 

http://creativecommons.org/support/contest. 

 

The CC Swag photo contest challenges people to creatively photograph Creative 

Commons T-shirts, buttons, stickers, and other promotional items (all available at CC’s 

online store – http://creativecommons.org/support/store). and enter their photos by 

uploading them to the Flickr group CCSwagcontest06 

(http://www.flickr.com/groups/ccswagcontest06/).  

 

Two winners, as chosen by Creative Commons staff, will have their photos used on 

Creative Commons' informational postcards, which will be distributed internationally 

to promote CC and the winning photographers. Winners will receive 100 copies of the 

postcard that features their photo. The winners will also be able to choose a Creative 

Commons board member to record a personalized outgoing voicemail announcement.

About Creative Commons 

 

Creative Commons is a not-for-profit organization, founded in 2001, that promotes the 

creative re-use of intellectual and artistic works—whether owned or in the public 

domain. Creative Commons licences provide a flexible range of protections and 

freedoms for authors, artists, and educators that build upon the "all rights reserved" 

concept of traditional copyright to offer a voluntary "some rights reserved" approach. 

It is sustained by the generous support of various organizations including the John D. 

and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, Omidyar Network, the Hewlett Foundation, 

and the Rockefeller Foundation as well as members of the public. For general
