Use Europeana's content to create an app, game or website
Enter the Europeana Creative Challenge and win a tailor-made support package to bring your product successfully to the market!
We’re looking for creative developers and entrepreneurs to use the Europeana collections to create applications for a range of themes – natural history education, history education, tourism, design and social media.
We’re running challenges on each topic, and the first two, natural history and history education, are open now. Need some inspiration? We’ve created some pilot apps to show you the kinds of things you could do with Europeana content and a bit of imagination.
• First World War Learning Activities (from EUROCLIO/Webtic)
• Night at the museum adventure game (National Museum Prague/Museum for Natural History Berlin/Exozet)
• Natural history memory card game (National Museum Prague/Semantika)
Could you develop our pilots to make them bigger? Or do you have something completely different in mind? If it uses Europeana's content and fits the history or natural history education theme, then enter the Challenge!
How to Enter
All applications should be submitted here: http://ecreativeeducation2014.istart.org
