> Hi everyone,
>
> Tomorrow is the launch of the Wikimedia sound logo contest and we couldn’t be more excited. We'll be in session soon and accepting submissions.
>
> On behalf of the organizing team and community liaisons, we are grateful to Commons community members and others who participated in the different phases of this project – from an initial concept exploration to a contest proposal – providing us with valuable guidance to help shape an open, global contest. With so much expertise in international photography contests and visual logo searches in the movement, we are curious to learn how sound and audio production will play out for us, in harmony with our values.
>
> This is just a heads up and a thank you note. More information to come. We'd love to welcome scores of submissions from around the world, so please help the contest call vibrate through your networks. And of course, submit one yourself. There are free and open source tools that can help us capture sound and create that unique sound logo for our movement. And you don't have to be pitch perfect, we'll be having an audio production drop-in clinic with our expert partner MassiveMusic on 29 September @ 15:00 UTC. We'd love to hear from you.
>
> Ok, I think I have included enough sound-related puns in this email. Wishing you all well and once again, a heartfelt thank you.
