AIR-Austin '98
at ChariTECH
September 15, 1998

AIR-Austin Chair Steve Guengerich presented the awards to the Rally winners as part of the "New Austin" panel at ChariTECH. To arrive at the winners, AIR-Austin's panel of distinguished judges spent all day Sunday perusing the newly built web sites. They used BOBBY and other evaluation tools to look at accessibility, aesthetic appeal, and effective communication of mission.

Winners were awarded 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place trophies in both categories. And the winners were...

Formula One Category -

Stock Car Category -

AIR-Austin's booth on the ChariTECH floor demonstrated accessibility options and presented live hookups to all the AIR-Austin sites. As folks came by to view the results of the Rally, all agreed that every site was remarkable! Use this link to browse the entries.

Many of the groups that had participated in AIR-Austin had booths at ChariTECH, so there were plenty of notes compared and a chance to catch up on all the creative and ACCESSIBLE work that had been done by everyone!

The excitement of the Rally carried over as teams reunited to enjoy a day of music and inspiration. ChariTECH was a great opportunity to share experiences and visit with community groups that provide such a wide array of invaluable services to the Central Texas community.

MAIN volunteer Jack Jordon passed out certificates of appreciation to several Rally participants from the AIR-Austin booth.

Designers already had their heads together planning for "next year when we do this..."

Many Thanks to everyone who participated and supported AIR-Austin, particularly to our Sponsors


and all the other businesses, community-based organizations, and individuals who made it all happen. We've come a long way toward making Austin the Most Accessible City on the Internet because of your efforts!
