digital collections in new and exciting ways. Two winners will be
selected who will get the opportunity to work on their projects in
residence with BL Labs at the British Library for 6 months, where they
will receive the necessary support to make their ideas happen. The
Competition winner and runner up will receive *£3000* and *£1000*
respectively.
The BL Labs Awards (http://labs.bl.uk/British+Library+Labs+Awards+2016),
which closes on 5 September 2016, recognises *outstanding and innovative
work* carried out using our digital content in four key areas: Research,
Commercial, Artistic and Teaching / Learning. A prize of *£500* for the
winner and *£100* for the runner up will be awarded in each category.
