The Internet has become an important, if not indispensable, resource for everyone in society today. From doing research for school work and applying for jobs to shopping and paying bills, our everyday life is essentially conducted and happening online, which makes digital inclusion all the more important.

With a view to encouraging more enterprises and organisations to adopt accessibility design in their websites and mobile apps and promoting digital inclusion in Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Internet Registration Corporation Limited is organising another round of the Web Accessibility Recognition Scheme ("the Scheme") in 2020-2021, with the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer as the co-organiser and the Equal Opportunities Commission as the independent advisor.

Applications for the Scheme, which features a stream for websites and another for mobile apps, are now open until 19 June 2020. Successful entrants will be bestowed with the Triple Gold, Gold or Silver Award, or the Friendly Website/Mobile App Recognition according to the accessibility level of their websites/mobile apps.
