Jodi Awards 2009: International Award for the most accessible cultural website | 9 July 2009

From: Marcus Weisen, Development Manager, Jodi Mattes Trust for accessible to digital culture
The Jodi Awards go international! Nominations are now invited for the new International Jodi Award for the most accessible website or web-based service from a cultural organisation. You may have an accessible and easy to use website, it may provide informal learning materials for disabled people or you may use the web to supply print-disabled people with digitalised reading materials. You may use the website in an other way to provide access to cultural experience for disabled people. If so, we look forward to receiving your Nomination.
The Jodi Awards for accessible digital culture have been given since 2003 - which was European Year of Disabled People; to cultural organisations in the United Kingdom. Previous winners include world-famous museums (such as Tate Modern and the British Museum),small organisations (such as the volunteer-run Pewsey Heritage Centre), networks of services (such as the public libraries in South Yorkshire and Humberside), an archive (The National Archives) and a disability organisation (the National Library for the Blind, now RNIB).
The Jodi Awards will be given on 2 December 2009 at the prestigous Victoria and Albert Museum in London, at the occasion of a joint event with the UK Museums Computer Group.

The Jodi Awards are given by the Jodi Mattes Trust. The Trust exists to promote equal access to and enjoyment of the arts and culture by disabled people through digital media.

Deadline for nominations is Friday 25 September 2009. You can find more information and a Nonimation Form on the culture 24 website.
If you consider submitting a Nomination and would like to discuss your ideas, do please contact Marcus Weisen,marcus.weisen@gmail.com.
