The 2009 Jodi Awards shortlist
I’ve had one of the websites (www.sallybooth.co.uk) I designed and produced (& now manage) short-listed for the Jodi Awards (The Jodi Awards For Excellence In Accessible Cultural Websites And Digital Media).
The Jodi Awards are for museums, galleries, libraries, archives and heritage venues that use technology to provide access to collections and learning for disabled people, e.g. websites, interactive objects, audio-guides, PDAs and virtual reality shows.
“The Jodi Awards celebrate practice that inspires locally, nationally or internationally,” said Matthew Cock, Chair of the Jodi Mattes Trust and Head of Web at the British Museum. “We welcome nominations from all kinds of projects, small and big, low-tech and hi-tech and for small and large audiences. What counts is the value of your project and the quality of your engagement with disabled people.”
The government’s Champion for Digital Inclusion, Martha Lane Fox will present the 2009 Jodi Awards at the V&A Museum’s Sackler Centre on December 2.
