About
FeedNPlay is a new way for the Department of Informatics Engineering of the University of Coimbra to communicate and interact with its community and reach out to external ones. It consists, primarily, of an array of LCDs mounted on the wall of the most populated corridor in the department, right after the entrance. These displays offer a dynamic, digital medium with diverse contents, ranging from images, videos, animations, text, information visualization projects, moving typography, as well as live and interactive artworks, installations and media experiences. With FeedNPlay, we aim to create a unique medium that motivates the design and exhibition of different projects made by students and researchers from the department and also by designers, artists, and creatives from across the world.
Sponsored by First Foundation Project initiative by FeedZai and the University of Coimbra.

What can I submit?
FeedNPlay currently accepts submissions in the following categories:
- Image – Digital images, such as illustrations, posters, computer-generated images and screenshots. Each submission in this category can consist of a single image or a series of images.
- Video – Different types of videos, such as live action videos, animations, motion graphics, kinetic typography, demos and screencasts. Each submission in this category should consist of a single video.
- Font – Typographic fonts or typefaces. Each submission in this category can consist of a single font or a collection of related fonts (font family).

How do I submit?
Simply start a Submission and we will provide instructions as you go.
Each submission must contain two parts:
- Content – File(s) of the content being submitted.
- Metadata – File containing information about the content. This information is used by the FeedNPlay system for different purposes, namely to display details about each content being exhibited (e.g. title, authors and description) and to automatically group submissions according to several criteria (e.g. type, year, tag, among others).
The submission process works as shown in the diagram below:
See detailed submission flowchart here.
How do I update an existing submission?
If you would like to update a submission previously submitted to FeedNPlay, either to replace the content with a new version and/or change the metadata, follow these steps:
- Open this Google Form.
- Insert the identification code of the submission to be updated. You received this code via email after the initial submission (see last step of the submission process).
- If you would like to replace the content with a new version, insert the URL to download a ZIP containing the new content file(s).
- If you would like to change something in the metadata, explain which attributes should be changed and specify their new values.
