The best sites will then be chosen according to how accessible they are to everyone, including people with disabilities. The Accessibility Internet Rally Interactive (AIR-Interactive) is a unique, award-winning program that has received local and national media coverage. Its purpose is to match teams of Web designers and developers with non-profit arts organizations, bands, musicians and artists to help make the Web more accessible for people with disabilities.
