In Spring 2025, IU Libraries launched its third ever archival remix contest, "Safer Together," a donor-funded contest from IU Libraries Moving Image Archive. In response to the alarming number of IUB students who experience mental health issues, participants were invited to create a short, compelling video using archival footage to raise awareness about the importance of mental health.
All videos were judged by a Review Board in categories of originality, quality, appropriateness, and effectiveness of raising awareness around mental health.
As first place winner, Deo received a prize of $2,000! As runner-ups Miranda, Kierra, and Jack each received a prize of $500!
