Information for participating organisations

For all contributors 

Please could you send us a square gallery image to represent your organisation on the ‘Discover Collections’ menu page (square minimum 500 x 500px). Logos or single images of, for example, your library work best. We can reuse previous images if preferred.  

Submitting an online contribution 

If you are submitting online content, the deadline for sending them in will be Friday 3 November. 

Ideally, we’d prefer you to send us links to it hosted on your own website. We can host if this option is not available. Please could you also include: 

• A short title for your contribution(s) (up to 65 characters inc. spaces) 
• For videos: Ideally share a link to a self-hosted video, e.g. YouTube, vimeo. If this is not possible, please send in mp4 format via Dropbox, WeTransfer or similar.
