The AIR deadline is extended to Sept 16!  Cultural, NGO, and other non
commercially focused projects can still apply for the 2019 Accessibility
Internet Rally <https://air-rallies.org/> (AIR) - Knowbility's 20 year old,
award winning accessible web raising competition. More web dev teams than
projects have signed up to show off their accessible design skills. So if
you have a small to medium sized project that needs/wants an accessible
site, read on!

*What is AIR*: An annual web design competition. Web pros are trained in
accessible techniques. Teams are then assigned to a cultural of nonprofit
project or organization to make or improve a website. After six weeks of
working with their group, teams submit their finished project for judging
and prizes. Projects are accepted in three categories:
- General: For businesses, commercial services agencies, and individual
designers and developers
- Government: For state and federal agencies to submit their own internal
project and/or work with one of the AIR projects
- Students: For teams of computer science or web students to learn
accessibility skills
*Eligibility*: Nonprofit organizations, artists, musicians, school
projects, book clubs, neighbor groups  classroom info sites, etc. Basically
anything with cultural or public interest rather than solely commercial
purpose.
*Application deadline*: September 16, 2019
*Registration fee*: $100 (if your project is accepted)
