Hi everyone,
Tomorrow is the launch of the Wikimedia sound logo
<https://soundlogo.wikimedia.org/> 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 <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Communications/Sound_Logo>. 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
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Communications/Sound_Logo/Sound_collaboration#Freely_licensed_(libre)_and_free_from_cost_(gratis)>
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
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Communications/Sound_Logo#Music_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.
On behalf of the sound logo team,
Mehrdad
