GIF IT UP 2023
When
-Where
OnlineThis October, we're asking our community to get creative using public domain images available in Trove. By sharing and repurposing images from the past, we can find a new way to appreciate them in the present.
One way you can do this, is by joining in on the fun of GIF IT UP 2023. GIF IT UP is an annual GIF-making competition run in October by Europeana. The purpose is to create new digital content out of digitised heritage items that are in the public domain or openly licensed.
Join the conversation on Facebook and X (Twitter) to share the GIFs, or other creative works, you’ve made using Trove images.

The GIF-t that keeps on giving
Our community and the stories of how you are using the collections in Trove are what makes Trove so special. Have you used Trove for a creative project? Perhaps you’ve repurposed some public domain imagery to make something new? Or used information sourced from Trove to inspire and/or supply historical context to a creative work?
