Everyone should be able to enter
Accessibility statement
This statement applies to prizecentre.co.uk. We want anyone to be able to find a competition, read the rules, and enter — by post or online.
The standard we work to
We aim to meet WCAG 2.2 level AA. That is the standard UK organisations are generally expected to work to, and it covers keyboard use, contrast, text size, labelling and screen-reader support.
What we have done
- Every page has one main heading and a logical heading order.
- A "skip to main content" link is the first thing keyboard users reach.
- The page language is set, so screen readers pronounce content correctly.
- Interactive controls are reachable and operable with a keyboard alone, with a visible focus outline.
- Form fields have real labels, and validation errors say which field and what to fix.
- Images that carry meaning have alternative text; decorative images are hidden from screen readers.
- Colour is never the only way information is conveyed, and body text meets the 4.5:1 contrast ratio.
What still needs work
- We have not yet commissioned an independent accessibility audit — the checks so far are our own, using automated tooling and keyboard testing.
- Countdown timers update live; we have not yet verified how every screen reader announces them.
- Some longer competition descriptions are entered by our team, so their heading structure depends on how they were written.
- PDF documents we send (order confirmations, evidence packs) have not been tested for screen-reader tagging.
If something is in your way
Email hello@prizecentre.co.uk and tell us the page and what happened. We will reply and, where we can, fix it or give you another way to do the same thing.
Every competition also has a free postal entry route with the same odds as a paid entry, so no one is shut out of a draw by a problem with this website.
