Good morning!

I wanted to share a new grant with you that is being offered by Deque
Systems that you may wish to post in WebAIM forum digest.

At Deque we are committed to developing new technologies that make the web
accessible and to fostering new talent and projects that can help us
achieve this mission. In this spirit, we would like to announce the Amaze
Digital Accessibility Grant.

The Amaze Digital Accessibility Grant is a grant for $10,000 that will be
awarded to the applicant whose proposal best exemplifies an innovative
technology or project that will contribute to making the web accessible.

In addition to receiving the $10,000 grant, the winning applicant will
receive a stipend of up to $5,000 to attend the 2014 California State
University Northridge’s Annual International Technology and Persons with
Disabilities Conference in San Diego (also known as CSUN, dates TBD) and
will deliver a presentation on their project.

All application materials must be submitted via our online form by 11:59pm
EST on Wednesday, May 1st, 2013. The applications will be reviewed by a
panel of Deque’s accessibility experts. Finalists will be asked to
interview with Deque senior leadership team and announced the week of June
3rd. The winner will be announced on Monday, June 17th.

Please visit www.deque.com/amazegrant for more information, and do not
hesitate to contact me with any questions.

Thanks!
