Dear colleagues at Open Glam

My name is Berta Corredor, and I am writing to you on behalf of Europeana, European platform for cultural heritage. I hope this finds you well. We would appreciate it if you could help us to disseminate this initiative: GIF IT UP 2020.

This very special year, in which the Internet and social networks have been so present, European platform Europeana, has organized GIF IT UP 2020, an annual competition that proposes creating animated images about cultural heritage and sharing them online.

This year’s contest, which will be held throughout October, is going even more global in its offer of inspiring and diverse content to reuse and remix and get creative. Along with Europeaana’s regular partners, the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA),  New Zealand’s Digital NZ and NationalLibrary of Australia’s Trove, two new contentpartners have joined the fun – JapanSearch, which gives access to digitised cultural heritage from Japan, and DAG Museumsin Kolkata, India.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE? The competition is open to people of all ages, professionals andamateurs alike. Choose among the millions of public domain works from the partners, create your GIF,  and submit your entry!

WHAT ARE THE PRIZES? Prizes will be online art history courses from DailyArt magazine and Red Bubble gift cards. There will be a special category for the best GIF & runners-up, 1st time GIF makers, children & teens (below 18) and a bonus category for GIPHY backdrops. Moreover, GIF IT UP has its own GIPHY Channel that exposes the participants’ creations to millions.
