i-Map: The Everyday Transformed, Tate Modern

2006 Excellence Award Winner

This site does what seems impossible to many people, by making modern art (and its key concepts) accessible to blind and partially sighted people. It is one of the few to describe collections for visually impaired people. The images are highly contrasted and made visible to partially-sighted people. The judges were unanimous in selecting the winning site, which they agreed had yet more ground-breaking qualities and was destined to set the standard in global best practise. The site is already the world leader in making online collections accessible to blind and partially sighted people.
