Recreate one of these iconic Deakin Archives photos
Looking for something fun to do during a study break? Grab a few friends and participate in our Recreate That Photo competition. As part of Deakin’s 50th anniversary celebrations, the Library is inviting students to recreate one of these four photos from the Archives. Winning entries will be judged on creativity and resemblance to the original photo.
Prizes include gift vouchers (valued up to $300) and Deakin Library gift packs. Submit your entry through this form. We can’t wait to see your entries!

Looking for some inspiration?
Several Deakin students helped us film a short video recreating each of the above, showing just how easy it can be. Feel free to make it your own – we are excited to see what you come up with. Entries close 11.59pm AEST on 26 May 2025.
