I Heart UW Libraries Student Video Contest

I heart UW Libraries because; make a video telling us why, and have a chance of winning $1,500. Image of Snoqualmie Building in background.Do you love your UW Tacoma Library? Here is your chance to show it, and win up to $1,500!

Across all three campuses, UW Libraries is the “heart” of the University – our people, places, resources and programs support students, faculty and our local community in so many ways. The student video contest is an opportunity to share your story – why do you “heart” the UW Libraries?  Is it the helpful staff, countless resources, or welcoming study environment?

Think about the ways you interact with the Library remotely, all of the online tools and electronic resources that you can use. Think about the many Librarians who answer your questions 24/7 online and who provide expert advice on research, tools, publishing, writing and so much more– all remotely! And then… make a video about it!

Other ideas for inspiration:

  • The Libraries mission, vision, values
  • Profile of a librarian who made a difference in your academic career/ supported your research/helped with a special project.
  • Profile of a faculty member, how they have used the libraries to further their research, teaching and learning
  • The tools and resources available to you through the libraries: the ability to check out text books, computer and tech resources, classes, workshops and more
  • The many safe spaces for individual and group study.
  • Access to help and resources anytime, anywhere!
  • The importance of special collections and access to important cultural and historical primary sources.
  • Profile of individual libraries (there are 16 of them!); the people and resources that are meaningful to your work.
  • A combination of all of the above!
  • Need more inspiration? Watch previous submissions from 2019 winners (UW TACOMA REPRESENTED STRONGLY!!!) AND 2018 winners!

Please adhere to all current social distancing guidelines when creating your videos!
