At Award Force, accessibility is a core part of what we create. We believe everyone should be able to access beautiful, high-performing software.
Award Force is fully compliant with:
- WCAG 2.2 AA standards
- Revised Section 508 standards
- EN 301 549 accessibility requirements
Our Voluntary Product Accessibility Report (VPAT) is available to download from Award Force accessibility features.
Captions
The Award Force video player supports captions, including automated captions, to provide text alternatives for video content.
Entrants can also upload their own caption files to display on-screen subtitles during playback.
Transcripts
Transcripts can be uploaded for audio or video content independently of captions. These can be added as fields within Award Force for accessible content review.
Text descriptions for non-text content
Award Force automatically applies alt text to all images.
For programs that require audio descriptions for video content, these can be uploaded as audio files on the entry form.
Keyboard navigation
The Award Force platform can be fully navigated using only a keyboard for users who do not use a mouse.
Assistive technology
Award Force fully supports assistive technologies such as screen readers, which convey content to users.
We follow WCAG 2.2 AA standards for role, state, and property naming, allowing assistive tools to interpret content accurately.
User preferences
Award Force inherits user browser settings for font size and supports zooming in and out of the interface.
The app is fully responsive and works seamlessly on phones, tablets, and desktops. It has been tested on window zoom levels up to 500%.
Colour contrast
The default Award Force theme is designed to provide strong colour contrast between text and background for readability.
Accounts on the Pro plan and above can adjust colour settings to match their own branding while maintaining accessibility compliance.
