On Thursday 28 September, the Europeana Foundation announced the launch of the 8th annual GIF IT UP competition. This year the competition, in collaboration with a network of nine global partners, will challenge people to animate art and heritage from all over the world and enter for the chance to win prizes.
New partner, Goethe-Institut, will be sponsoring a special category on diversity and inclusion. Participants are encouraged to use openly licensed paintings, photography and texts made available through Europeana.eu and partners’ digital libraries to create, submit, and share striking new GIFs.
In addition to online resources, three events will help get people started with digital animation: an online event on 4 October 2023, and two physical workshops in Amsterdam (13 October 2023) and London (19 October 2023).
Aleksandra Strzelichowksa from the Europeana Foundation said, “GIF IT UP is one of Europeana’s most exciting projects – the competition encourages people to explore and remix cultural heritage material while also helping them learn about image licensing in an interactive and fun way.”
Maggy Szynkielewska from the Europeana Foundation added, “We are very excited to be working again with our network of global cultural heritage organisations, and delighted to welcome the Goethe-Institut this year. We’re looking forward to this year’s entries and seeing what creative and inspiring ideas people will come up with”.
GIF IT UP will run from 1 to 31 October 2023, with winners announced in November 2023.
