Mozilla’s global Maker Party<\/a> is well underway and the creative, instructive and strangely addictive Makes that have been pouring in are so impressive that we’ve decided to kick it up a notch.
\nWith only four weeks left in the Maker Party, we’re launching a Battle of the Mixes. <\/strong> You get the chance to strut your stuff and, if your stuff is good enough, be featured on our homepage<\/a>.

\n<\/p>\n

Here’s how it works<\/strong><\/h4>\n

We’ll provide a challenge and your job is to create something hot and remixable using Webmaker tools<\/a>. You can start from scratch, or press the remix button on anything you find on webmaker.org <\/a>to alter it and make it your own. Publish your work and tag it so we can find it. We’ll pick the three most imaginative, inspiring and irresistible-to-remix creations and feature them on our homepage<\/a> and on the Webmaker’s Hottest<\/a> series. We’ll even send the winners a t-shirt.<\/p>\n
