Thank you to all who joined our ♿ accessibility challenge! Over 100 Local Guides shared helpful reviews with accessibility details that make it easier for people with reduced mobility to decide where to go and know what to expect there.
Our jury reviewed all the submissions against the criteria. They were looking for authentic, high-quality reviews that included the ♿ symbol and accessibility details and followed the Maps user-generated content policy.
And the results are in: 89 Local Guides successfully fulfilled the challenge and were awarded the new Accessibility Challenge Winner badge! We have also granted first-time and third-time Connect challenge winner badges to the Local Guides who qualified and included those with two wins in our running list.
If you don’t have a new badge — or badges — on your profile or you don’t see your name on the list, don’t worry. More challenges are coming up!
Among the 89 reviews, the jury picked their five favorite ones. These reviews stood out due to their quality and value to others. Here they are:
@SarahKa's review of Mama Café BH in Belo Horizonte, Brazil
@JustJake's review of the Arizona Department of Transportation in Scottsdale, USA
@HiroyukiTakisawa's review of Huckleberry in Kitakami, Japan
@Globe_trotter_Ish’s review of Korum Mall Thane in Thane, India
@Janny1’s review of the Tilt Arcade Bar in Toronto, Canada
Thank you all once again for joining this challenge! Keep an eye out for the next one coming soon.
