<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Someone just brought this away to my attention.  It doesn't have any $ award with it but thought I'd share anyway.  It's definitely seems to go to submitters who have created tech solutions to digital accessibility problems.  </p>

<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Wondering if Caption Hub or, more likely, our (Ward & SBCTC) state developed software testing program/etc. might be a good nominee for next years session.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Just putting it out there in case I'm forgetting some other solutions that WA folks have come up with already.</p>
