EXPOLORING INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE THROUGH GIFs
In 2019, Europeana is running Europe at Work, a project exploring industrial heritage and working life in Europe across time. That’s why we created a special prize category for a gif created from material related to industrial heritage. So get the cogs turning and the machines running!
KIDS & TEENS CREATING GIFS (AND LEARNING ABOUT COPYRIGHT AND ONLINE SHARING)
Another special category is for children and teenagers between 6 and 18. Creating GIFs is a great way to develop digital skills and learn about copyright and online sharing from a young age.
Find out more and submit your gif on the competition’s website.
