Review

A jury with representatives of the Arnhems Platform Chronisch Zieken en Gehandicapten (APCG), Cultuur Academy and the municipality of Arnhem will judge the plans on ambition, feasibility and impact. During the symposium "Accessible events: how do we take the next step?" on Monday, November 25, the winner will be announced.

The jury will evaluate the plans on the following criteria:

• Ambition: How ambitious and innovative is the plan?
• (Practical) feasibility: Is the plan realistic and feasible within the time and resources provided?
• Sustainability: Is the investment in accessibility a one-time event, or does it contribute to future editions of the same or similar events?
• Role model: Can the plan serve as inspiration for other events?

Send your submission to Cultuur Academy by Nov. 1 by completing the form via the button below and attaching your plan. Questions? Email Robin Atema at toegankelijkheid@cultuuracademy.nl.
