Second international Digital Preservation Challenge deadline extended to 31
July 2008
As the original deadline for the Second Digital Preservation Challenge
coincides with the exam period for many students across Europe
DigitalPreservationEurope has decided to extend the deadline for the DPE
challenge until 31 July 2008.
Due to the challenging nature of this competition it was deemed appropriate
to allow students the opportunity to focus on their entries over the summer
months when they would not have exams to prepare for.
The Digital Preservation Challenge invites participants to overcome the
barriers hindering access to five digital objects. Each set of objects is
accompanied by a scenario based on a real-life digital preservation
situation. There are no wrong solutions, only interesting ones, we want to
hear your ideas!
Important dates
Opening of the Challenge: 15 January 2008
Deadline for submissions: 31 July 2008 at 4pm GMT
Announcement of winners: ECDL 17 September 2008, Aarhus, Denmark
Awards
First Prize 3000 Euros
Second Prize 1500 Euros
