|description=The Middle-Eastern Musicians projectʼs aim is to develop the CC community in the Middle-East through a three-day event in which the CC tools and licences can be explained to new artistic communities in the Middle East region, including in Iran. Bar-Ax Promotions, which promotes Iranian musicians and songwriters worldwide, aims to initiate an outreach event in one of the major cities in a Middle-Eastern country, which Iranian, Turk and Arab musicians and songwriters can attend, in order to promote understanding and adoption of CCʼs tools and licences in their work. The Iranian community, for example, both at an artistic level and in its media platforms, is currently unfamiliar with the CC mission and CC tools and licences. This proposal is to further develop the achievements of the CC mission in the Middle East.
|output=The project will result in several outputs. The central output is the event itself, which will be covered by at least one major TV station. Bar-Ax has a supplierʼs contract with BBC Persian TV, and BBC Persian is interested in covering this event. Additional outputs that will contribute to a broader outreach of this event include videos, produced by the participating artists and the participating organisations, photos and an article. Besides the BBC Persian service, other TV stations, including Al Jazeera and the Persian service of Voice of America, will be invited to this event.
|community=The target community is the semi-professional and professional artistic community from the Middle East, concentrating on those at the beginning of their careers. This ME musician event should empower them on their path to professionalise their talent, as well as helping to promote, licence and share their music, songs and videos globally.

|community relationship=Bar-Ax has PR contracts with more than 75 music bands from Iran. Bar-Ax was established in 2008 and, since then, has built an excellent relationship with the artists, the media platforms and a number of broadcasters worldwide. We are providing musicians with services that include copyright and legal consultancy, PR and marketing. One recent venture was an alternative Iranian Arts Festival in London, in March 2010. Another success has been a compilation CD of fourteen underground bands, produced in collaboration with Songlines magazine. Bar-Ax is a dynamic and very promising initiative that plays an important role in supporting and promoting the Iranian music community under difficult circumstances.
|measurement=The success of the project is to be measured by two indicators. First, the event will be covered by at least one mass-media platform, whether it is the BBC Persian Service, Al Jazeera or both of these stations. This will ensure the broad outreach of the CC mission to new audiences, especially in Iran. Secondly, two famous participating artists from each of these communities will explain the CC work and licences, in their own words, in a video interview.
|participants=There are several organisations involved in this project. Bar-Ax is initiating the project, and has invited a number of other like-minded organisations from the Middle East to co-operate with it. We expect to have more than 100 participants from several ME countries, including local artists from the host country. Bar-Ax, as initiator of this proposal, will collaborate with CC Middle East to ensure and to sustain the involvement of the artists by representing them in other fields – including networking and facilitating performances and distribution of their songs and videos.
|impact=The overall impact of the project is to increase confidence among Iranian musicians to participate in the global market without the fear of encountering copyright issues. In addition, the project's impact is to make this artists self-sustainable by educating about CC tools, sharing the know how and developing on networks at both the international level and local level which in turn impacts the collaboration across communities .
|tech needs=The event should result in at least one video being produced by the organisers, which will reach a wide audience and introduce the CCʼs work through the words of the participants themselves. It will also result in press coverage by at least one major TV representative. The initiating organisation, Bar-Ax, already has a number of tools available for production, including a camcorder. Other tools that are available, and which will help to increase impact, are all related to production and sound quality, and include five Sony voice recorders, an extra camcorder, two camcorder tripods and two suitable microphones. The assets that Bar-Ax will bring to this project consist of a camcorder and the technical skills to film.
impact collaboration across communities.
|challenges=We anticipate two challenges: first, that the artists/musicians do not find Creative Commons (CC) licences suitable for commercial work. Therefore, the workshop programme should include clarification as to how working with CC can contribute to commercially viable results. Secondly, language could create a barrier preventing some artists from participating in an active way. To bridge any possible language barrier, Bar-Ax will invite interpreters and translators from its network to participate in the event.
|sustainability=Bar-Ax has several sources of annual funding to promote and sustain the Iranian music community. However, in order to carry out this project a funding by Creative Commons is absolutely necessary. Other sources of funding include the British Arts Council and private donors. To increase the number of participants in this important event, introducing CC to a new Middle-Eastern artistic community, Bar-Axʼs aim is to recruit the aid of further donors and sponsors. Please refer to the attached budget for other sources of funding.
|scalability=The musical and artistic community in Iran is currently totally unfamiliar with Creative Commons work. The impact of this project, to introduce CC licences to a wider community in the Middle East, can be tracked via the number of CC licences adopted through the Bar-Ax website and the Zirzemin website. Both organisations are mainly active in the Iranian artistic community.
|resource needs=For the project to be realised, funding to the amount of $10.000 is required from Creative Commons to convene this outreach event. Additional support from other sources of funding will ensure the success of this project.
|communication=We have excellent contact with the artists we are representing, through communication channels that include mailing lists, newsletters and pages on the social networking sites.

|output=The project result in several outputs. The central output is the event itself but also video clips, photos and a written article contribute to a broader outreach of this event. In addition, our excellent contacts within the media should result in several press coverages about the event.
|community=Bar-Ax targets young Iranian musicians, both men and women, on their path to professionalise their talent, as well as helping to promote, license and share their music globally.
|community relationship=Bar-Ax represents the Iranian contemporary musicians and songwriters. Our website hosts more than 75 music bands. We are providing musicians with services including copyright and legal consultancy, PR and marketing. Most recent ventures include an alternative Iranian Arts Festival in March 2010. Another success has been a compilation CD of 14 underground bands in collaboration with Songlines magazine. Bar-Ax is a dynamic and very promising initiative that plays an important role in supporting and promoting the Iranian music community under difficult circumstances.
|measurement=The success of the project will be measured by two indicators: participants adapting the licenses in their work, and participants introducing CC in their video interviews, in under other Farsi Language.
|participants=There are two main organisations involved in this Project. Bar-Ax is initiating this project together with Zirzemin, which is an online music magazine. We expect to collaborate on this project with other local artist's communities in Turkey. Bar-Ax will sustain their involvement by representing them in other fields-as are provided within Bar-ax- including PR, facilitating performances and distributing their music.
|impact=The overall impact of the project is to increase confidence among Iranian musicians to participate in the global market without the fear of encountering copyright issues. In addition, the project's impact is to make this artists self-sustainable by educating about CC tools, sharing the know how and developing on networks at both the international level and local level which in turn impacts the collaboration across communities .
|tech needs=The event should result in at least one video to reach a wide audience introducing the CC's work, through the words of participants themselves. In this regard there are some tools available to use, such as several camcorder. But a quality sound is important to ask musicians to interview each other about their arguments for and against the use of CC in their work. We need 3 Sony voice recorders, one camcorder-tripod and one suitable mic. The assets we bring to the project are two camcorders and the technical skills to film.
|challenges=We can expect to face two challenges: firstly that the artists/musicians do not find Creative Commons licenses (CC) suitable for commercial work, and secondly that the language used could cause a barrier for some artists to participate in an active way. Therefore, the workshop program should include information on how working with CC can contribute to commercially viable results. To bridge the possible language barrier, Bar-Ax will invite interpreters and translators from its network to participate in the event.
|sustainability=Bar-Ax has several sources of funding annually to promote and to sustain Iranian music community. Other sources of funding include, British Arts Council. However, the organisation' aim is to sustain the copyright solutions through the support of Creative Commons.
|scalability=The music and artistic community in Iran is currently totally unfamiliar with Creative Commons work. The impact of this project to introduce CC licenses to a wider community in the Middle East can be tracked via the number of CC licenses adopted through the Bar-Ax website and the Zirzemin website. Both organisations are mainly active in the Iranian Artistic community.
|resource needs=For the project to be realised a funding of $10.000 is required from Creative Commons to convene this outreach event. Additional support from Creative Commons to speak at the event will ensure the success of this project.

|communication=Both organisations have several communication channels with the artists they represent, including mailing lists, blogs, newsletters and through pages on the social networking sites.
