Access Advocacy Kit
2007 People With Disabilities(WA) Inc Access Art competition
People With Disabilities(WA) Inc was pleased to receive a wide range of entries in the Access Art competition, all with varying worthwhile messages and images. We had an unavoidable delay in the judging process, and do apologise for the lengthy timeframe in acknowledging entries and announcing the winner and runners up in second and third place.
We are pleased to announce the winning entrant has been chosen. The artwork featured on the Access Advocacy Kit’s postcard was created by Yuemei Lim.
Second place went to Peter Gee
and third place was awarded to Trudy Moore.
Congratulations Yuemei, Peter and Trudy! Along with the postcard, we created three letter templates. Two of these can be modified and submitted to any business proprietors as needed, should you visit any venues and experience difficulties in access which restrict your use of the facilities and general enjoyment. The third letter is like a bouquet of flowers for the proprietor to say that you found that the establishment is already accessible. Resolving access issues will provide many benefits to the community and businesses, not just the 20% of Australians, or nearly four million people, who experience some form of disability. This is a large consumer group with significant purchasing power! Passing on the postcard and/ or letters to various service providers will help increase the consideration and co-operation from service providers for the wider community.
