6 out of 34 plus additional number – BIENE Award 2008

January 23rd, 2009 by Dirk Jesse

The German BIENE Award is an annual software evaluation of internet applications with a special focus on accessibility, initiated by two major German social welfare organisations “Aktion Mensch” and the “Stiftung Digitale Chancen”. In 2008, the BIENE competition is organized for the 5th time with the aim to award a prize to the best accessible German-language websites.

Today the 34 finalists were announed and I'm extremely proud to say that six of the nominated websites are based on the YAML CSS Framework. Here they are:

Gemeinde Kranenburg

Hauptbahnhof Wien

Sozialforum Tübingen

On-Line

Düsselenergie

Darmkrebs.at

And — finally we are waiting for the additional number — the web site that presents us with the finalists, "Einfach für Alle", is using YAML too.

This is fantastic news and I really want to thank all of them for their trust in YAML and, of course, all the best for the competition. The prize winners will be announced on January, 30th in Berlin.

Update 17th. Feb. 2009: I allmost forgot to mention, that ALL six YAML-based finalists became award winners (1x golden award, 4x silver award, 1x bronze award). Congratulation.
