Accessibility statement

Our accessibility commitment

This system follows the Town of Leesburg's digital accessibility policy. Read the Town's conformance target and how it's tested at the Town's digital accessibility statement (opens in a new tab) .

Below are the specific things we know are not right yet in this application, and how to tell us about a problem here.

Known limitations

We would rather tell you what is not right yet than claim everything is.

• This system is still being built. Submitting work does function, but some parts — how commissions rank and choose between entries — are not finished. If anything here stops you submitting, contact the commission directly and they will take your details another way.
• Files that artists upload are their own. We ask every artist to describe their photographs so screen reader users know what each image shows, but we cannot guarantee the quality of someone else's description. If a description is unhelpful, please tell us and we will fix it.
• Linked videos are hosted elsewhere. Where an artist links to a video on another site, its captions are outside our control.
• One document we produce is not fully accessible. The Town's Certificate of Records Destruction is generated as a PDF that is not tagged for screen readers. The same certificate is always available as a web page with identical content, and that version is the one to use. Staff-facing only — artists never encounter it.
• We do not claim the artwork portfolio PDF conforms. Commission staff can print a set of artwork as a PDF, one image to a page. That file does carry a document title, a language, a reading structure and the artists' own descriptions of each image — but it has not been checked against a PDF accessibility validator, so we make no conformance claim for it. The page it is created from shows the same images with the same descriptions, and that page is the accessible version. Staff-facing only — artists never encounter it.
• This form does not expire while you are filling it in. You have several hours, so there is no need to rush. If you do leave it far longer than that and your answers have gone, we are sorry — start again and contact the commission if that is difficult, and they will take your details another way.

Tell us about a problem

If any part of this system stops you doing what you came to do, please tell us. You do not need to know why it is happening or what to call it — describing what you were trying to do is enough.

It helps if you can tell us the page address and what you were using, but neither is required.
