Discover the winners of the 1st Digital Storytelling Festival
The first edition of the Digital Storytelling Festival encouraged people to create digital stories from openly licensed cultural heritage collections. At its recent closing event, Festival participants, the Jury and cultural heritage enthusiasts celebrated and looked back at the inaugural edition.
The session began with a peek behind the scenes of organising the festival, participants’ insights into their submissions and digital storytelling, and wider reflections on cultural heritage’s role in the emerging creator economy.
This thought-provoking dialogue was followed by the long-awaited, much-anticipated announcement of the Festival prize winners… here are the entries recognised by the Jury and the audience!
