[accessibleimage] first annual Audio Description Project Conference

Hi,

Forwarding this information about the first annual Audio Description Project conference


"The American Council of the Blind has established the Audio Description Project to promote description throughout the nation in all its formats and to produce description for broadcast media.  We will hold our first annual Audio Description Project Conference in conjunction with ACB’s 2009 Convention this summer in Orlando, FL—July 6-8.  Immediately following our Conference, from July 9-11, we will convene our first Audio Description Training Institute, a three-day intensive series of interactive, multi-media sessions focused on the fundamentals of audio description.

 

I’ve attached documents (and appended them below) on both events and several other related initiatives:

 

- “The Miracle Worker” on DVD with captions and description provided by ACB’s Audio Description Project—sales through the links indicated benefit ACB!

 

- the Young Described Film Critic contest, sponsored by ACB’s ADP and the Described and Captioned Media Program—encourage kids you know to review described video or film!

 

- a call for nominations for the first ACB/ADP Awards, including the Barry Levine Memorial Award for Career Achievement in Description as well as description Achievement Awards in Media, Performing Arts, Visual Art, and Research.

 

I do hope you can join us!  Keep in mind that formal registration should begin by the end of next week at the ACB website:
