Check out the winners of recent AIR competitions,
http://knowbility.org/air-austin/?content=winners. AIR stands for
Accessibility Internet Rally, originated and promoted by
http://Knowbility.org. AIR recruits tech teams, and trains them in
accessibility (basic (HTML) and advanced (scripting, CSS, and Flash)). Then
the tech teams are paired with non-profits which have been trained in how to
say what you want on the web. In a one day (8 hour) rally the teams produce
web sites for the non-profits which are then judged for accessibility,
function aesthetics quality of purpose. There is a gala event celebrating
the winners. It started here in Austin but AIR's are spreading - watch for
(or start) one in your home town.

Subject: [WebAIM] examples of accessible sites
Hi -
I'm looking for good examples of accessible sites to show off to some
coworkers who consider accessible to mean boring and dull.
A variety of sites would be great - for example, a mix of educational,
commercial, and other types of sites.
I'd be interested in a site even if it doesn't do everything right
(yet). For example, a site that is mostly accessible but still hasn't
made its multimedia accessible yet. (So I can say, "Look, this is an
example of a site that has done so and so right, but still needs to work
on this and that.")
Any suggestions?
You can reply to me on or off list. My email is <EMAIL REMOVED> .
Thanks.
