Creative Commons has announced a new remix contenst in conjunction with Crammed Discs - the Crammed Discs Remix Contest.

Crammed artists Cibelle (right), DJ Dolores, and Apollo Nove, some of Brazil’s most creative musicians, are offering new music online, licensed so that producers can use the tracks in remixes and new compositions.

The artists will select the best remixes. If yours is selected, it will be released on a special remix CD.

To enter the contest, you have to create a remix of Cibelle’s “Noite de Carnaval,” DJ Dolores’s “Sanidade,” or Apollo Nove’s “Yage Cameras” and upload your track to ccMixter between April 26, 2006 and May 24, 2006. All entries must be licensed to the public under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 2.5 license.

After all eligible entries have been received, Cibelle, DJ Dolores, and Apollo Nove will each select the three best remixes of their respective songs; these nine winning remixes will be included on a Crammed/ccMixter remix compilation, which will be sold online through digital music stores.

You can listen to the original versions of the songs by visiting the Crammed Discs Web site (RealPlayer required).
