I’m not big on self-promotion, but have been persuaded to bring attention to this as a few people have convinced me it is a great vindication for what we are doing with A Swarm of Angels, and all the members already involved.
I found out yesterday of the nomination for the Top 100 people in London’s creative industries for instigating A Swarm of Angels. Finalists are selected by public vote across 13 categories to make the Top 100. The film category is a tough one, but if we mobilise support it would be a huge coup to get a Creative-Commons-licensed, open movie in the list, and help us with further development.
Voting finishes on Monday 30 June (extended to Friday 4 July apparently!), so please vote for us (check film category: Matt Hanson).
The list is in association with The Independent newspaper, story here.
“The Hospital Club 100 will be the definitive list of who shapes the creative landscape in what is, after all, the most creative city in the world. We’re not after fat cats and big wigs. Corner offices and chauffeurs are not a prerequisite for inclusion. We want to know the secret influencers, the creative catalysts, the unheard of power players; the unsung heroes who make the media world spin.”
I want to congratulate everyone contributing to the project, as it’s a great thing to be even on the longlist considering the amount of people in the creative industries in London. This is a crucial time in the development of open content, and our efforts through this and offshoot ViewShareRemix (member preview here) all help. Thanks for voting!
