The results of the ♿ accessibility challenge are in!

Thank you to all who joined our :wheelchair: accessibility challengein honor of Global Accessibility Awareness Day in May! Over 580 Local Guides submitted reviews with helpful details about the wheelchair accessibility of places around them.

Our jury reviewed all the submissions against the challenge criteria. They were looking for authentic, high-quality reviews with a focus on :wheelchair: accessibility, which followed the Maps user-generated content policy.

And the results are in! Over 430 Local Guides successfully fulfilled the challenge! We have awarded Connect challenge winner badges and the special Accessibility Challenge Winner badge to the Local Guides who qualified and included those with two or more wins in our running lists.

If you don’t have a new badge on your profile or you don’t see your name on the lists, don’t worry. More challenges are coming up!

Among the winning reviews, the jury picked a few of their favorite ones. They stood out due to their originality, quality, or value to others. Here they are:

** @DanHetx ’s review of Lock Yard in New York, USA**

** @Lissanism ’s review of the Kathleen Syme Library and Community Centre in Melbourne, Australia**

** @Rolli_Auwald ’s review of Robertsmühle in Eisenberg, Germany**

** @Gurukrishnapriya ’s review of Besant Nagar Beach in Chennai, India**

** @Izumi ’s review of the Nagoya Station in Nagoya, Japan**

Thank you all once again for joining this challenge! Keep an eye out for the next one.

Thank you for the results @DeniGu .

It was a very great challenge although it’s the second time we are having an accessibility challenge in very recent times. We hope other areas and aspects of the local guides program will be well explored on these challenges.

When’s the next challenge? Waiting…

Congratulations to all who are featured and all who won a particular time badges etc. I’m a 6th time winner so nothing to show for it more than my name on the running list.

Happy guiding

Cheers

Considering that you won the three times challenge badge in Connect today, when the second Accessibility challenge winners were announced, but your Accessibility challenge winner badge is dated Jan 23, it means that today you won, like me, your second Accessibility Challenge.

Congratulations :clap: :clap:
