Thanks to the generous commitment of Bridge Multimedia and Dicapta, the 2026 Audio Description Awards Gala is multilingual. Bridge is providing captions and American Sign Language interpretation, while Dicapta is creating a full Spanish translation. With English audio description by Audio Description Associates, the Awards Gala is likely the most accessible awards show.
The ADP's partnership with Dicapta extends to working together to spread the word about the Awards Gala to Spanish-speaking audiences. This week, Diversidad Funcional en Acción released a podcast episode featuring ACB member Lucy Arguijo and Dicapta founder Dr. Maria-Victoria Diaz. It's a lively discussion about the history and importance of the Awards Gala, access to media, and inclusion. Enjoy the podcast on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube.
