State Of The Map 2010/Concert Contest
From OpenStreetMap Wiki
Do you remember the 2008 Limerick Limericks? And the 2009 Amsterdam Haikus? What kind of poetry did we undertake at State Of The Map 2010?" Well this year we had one epic poem, "The Girona Tales", and in true OSM style, you can all contribute tales, but we also did something different. As the State of the Map 2010 venue was actually a concert hall, we hosted the first official OpenStreetMap Concert Contest.
The rules were simple:
- Make a song, or change the lyrics of an existing song. The song must be about OSM, maps, GPS, GIS software, or cartography.
- You may assemble a band to play the song together (or play solo).
- You may use the concert hall A/V facilities (amplifiers, audio inputs, video playback, etc). Please do talk with the SotM10 organising committee if you plan to.
- You will be required to play the song during SotM10.
