Section 508 Compliance: Contestants should keep in mind that the Department of Labor considers universal accessibility to information a priority for all individuals, including individuals with disabilities. In this regard, the Contestant is responsible for ensuring that all information computer technologies (ICT) deliverables meet or exceed accessibility and universal design requirements under Section 508of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Mobile Web Best Practices and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 Level AA.
