Festival
This is a new idea for a festival and/or awards show-like event that could happen as part of some large conference or festival, like SXSW that would be for creators of media, would have some large categories for creative works, adopt a similar model to common awards shows (oscars, grammys, mtv video music awards) and would also have a festival component to the event that highlights contemporary media.

Overview
Who
For the creators and producers of CC licensed content.
What
A festival/awards event that is latched onto a large conference or festival. It should be big and aggressive about finding great content and have excellent judges.
Where
Initially, it should be in some solid location. Initial thought is to connect it with SXSW 2007.
- Makers Faire (which they are doing again this year - I've checked)
- What if we started our own "festival" and partnered with other orgs. and institutions (probably waaaaay bigger than google was thinking)
- Block Party :)
- What film festivals or art festivals are coming to town in the spring...hmmmmmm
- HiLo Film Festival (may be an interesting one)
- Francisco International Film Festival
- San Francisco Independent Film Festival
- Could partner with an academic institution to put this on? UC Berkeley, SFAI, etc.
When
Hopefully, the first one will be spring 2007 during one good day or evening
Why
To highlight and reward contributors for their high quality creative content
