RPM Challenge: create an album in 28 days

I found this via Kathy Sierra at Creating Passionate Users: RPM ‘07. The basics are this: you have 28 days to create an album’s worth of new musical material. It’s based on the same spirit that inspired NaNoWriMo - deadlines can help creativity.

We’re already well into the 28 days (entries must be postmarked by March 1), but the takeaway is that this could be a creative idea for a college media outlet to try. How about just a challenge for folks on your campus to create a song (or a video or a photo montage or something else) in a month and submit it to your site? Yeah, it’s not necessarily the news - but we’re talking about creating a community around your Web site. Perhaps students (and faculty/staff and alumni) will appreciate the fact that you’re soliciting their involvement. And perhaps that will lead to greater involvement in your other news-related activities.

It’s worth a try.
