Nominations are now open for the 2025 edition of the International Excellence Award for Accessible Publishing, promoted by the Accessible Book Consortium (ABC), led by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).

The International Excellence Award for Accessible Publishing is the most prestigious prize for accessibility in the publishing field: it recognizes a publisher and a project initiative that have demonstrated exceptional leadership and achievements in advancing the accessibility of commercial e-books or other digital publications for persons print-disabled.

Winners are chosen among nominees from all over the world. This year’s winners will be announced during the gala dinner of the World Blindness Summit, organized by the World Blind Union on September 3, in São Paulo, Brazil.

The selection panel will evaluate the commitment to making available contents accessible, the use of accessibility standards, collaboration with partners in the supply chain, innovative practices and extended positive effects on persons with visual impairment.

Nominations for the award in the two categories are now being collected by the Accessible Book Consortium. Any nomination should be filled and sent by July 14, 2025.
