The digital preservation community's favorite competitive event, the Great Digital Preservation Bake Off, is returning with a flavorful twist at iPRES 2024. Originating as a showcase in 2014 and transformed into the Digital Preservation Bake Off in 2019 in Amsterdam, this unique event has quickly become a highlight of the conference, offering both seasoned and emerging tool developers a platform to demonstrate the impact and usefulness of their digital preservation tools in a lively and engaging environment.

Submissions for a bake-off tool demo are due June 30, so get your tool in now!

We are also seeking fresh pantry contributions. While we welcome any file donation, we are currently particularly looking for:

• signed PDFs
• metadata datasets
• files with non-Latin character encoding and non-printing characters.
