During September, participants in a UVic Libraries scavenger hunt can vie for one of ten $10 ONECard.

Each participant will receive a "passport" requiring three stamps from various library service points: the Ask Us Desk, Digital Scholarship Commons, and Special Collections & University Archives.

This promotion will be prominently featured at ThunderFest and will run from September 6-30, 2024.

Completed passports must be returned to a drop-box at the Ask Us Desk by September 30, 2024 to qualify for entry. One entry per person, however students who acquire a “bonus stamp” from the Law Library will get a second entry.

On October 1, 2024, a random drawing will determine the winner from all entries received.
