Jodi Awards 2009 (UK)

Nominations are now being sought for the Jodi Awards 2009. The awards are for museums, galleries, libraries, archives, arts organisations and heritage venues which use digital technology to widen access to information, collections learning and creativity for disabled people. Named in memory of Jodi Mattes (1973-2001), a former member of the British Museum's COMPASS team and a tireless champion of equal access to culture for disabled people, the awards were first given in 2003 to museums, libraries and archives. For 2009, the Jodi Mattes Trust are particularly keen to encourage galleries and art organisations to nominate their projects. Deadline for nominations is Friday 25 September 2009
