Purpose: The Jodi Awards exist to promote digital access to culture. This paper aims to give some background to the Awards and to profile the 2011 winner and commendation. Design/methodology/approach: The Jodi Awards are annual awards given to celebrate the best examples of using technology to make culture and cultural institutions accessible to people with a disability. Findings: Much has already been achieved in using technology to widen access to museums, galleries and heritage venues but there is clear potential for more development, given the appropriate political will and policy change. Originality/value: The Jodi Awards are unique in celebrating the use of technology in this way. \© Emerald Group Publishing Limited.
