SPARC Announces Mind Mashup

http://www.sparkyawards.org

The Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition (SPARC) is collecting entries for the SPARC Discovery Awards, a new contest to promote the open exchange of information. The theme is “Mind Mashup,” and contestants are invited to illustrate in short videos the importance of sharing ideas and information of all kinds. Anyone aged 15 or older is encouraged to send in their entry after considering this “inspiration quote” from George Bernard Shaw: “If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange those apples, then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas.” The deadline is December 2.
