What is Common Ground?

Common Ground is a global meet up celebrating the Commons on Flickr to be held by as many of the institutions in the Commons. This will consist of a projection onto the participating institutions building at night (or suitable day-time location) using a slideshow of content from the Commons on Flickr accounts that is curated by you, our community. This will be hosted on the weekend of 2nd – 3rd October across the globe (albeit time-differences). Making the Flickr Commons go live through a connected slideshow. You will get to meet the staff behind the Commons and we will get to know you.

How can you help?

This slideshow is curated by you and we need you to go through our selection application to choose the images for the slideshow. Every institutions top *favorited* images will be represented in the slideshow and there will be 20-25 images from each photostream.
