The Accessibility Internet Rally (AIR) is a web accessibility design contest that has been running since 1998. The competition aims to increase the awareness of the authoring tools and techniques that make the Internet accessible to all, including people with disabilities.
Teams of professional web developers come together to learn best practice by developing accessible websites for registered non-profit organisations.
The competitions are held in October in three locations in Texas: Austin, Houston and San Antonio.
