CTA Foundation's Eureka Park Accessibility Contest

The CTA Foundation’s Eureka Park Accessibility contest returns to CES 2026. US and Canadian based startups may enter to be one of five winners to receive a complimentary booth at CES 2026 in Eureka Park, the show's flagship startup marketplace, along with a $2,500 prize.

Entries must meet Eureka Park entry criteria and highlight how their technologies enhance the lives of older adults or people with disabilities. Entrants should review the complete contest rules and requirements.

The application period has closed. The winners will be announced here by September 19, 2025.

Five (5) Winners will each receive: 

  • one (1) 8’ x 10’ upgraded booth package in the Eureka Park exhibit area at the CES 2026, in Las Vegas, Nevada on January 6-9, 2026; 
  • one (1) $2,500 award; 
  • and other promotional opportunities if available. 

Total maximum ARV of all prizes: $17,500.

Sign-Speak's dream was always to attend CES, but we didn’t have the means. Winning the CTA contest made it possible, not just financially but for the exposure too. Along with the booth, you get the chance to network with industry experts. My advice if you win: stay on top of the CTA exhibitor emails, wear comfy shoes, and have fun! You’ll gain tons of qualified leads —you won’t believe it!

Previous Winners

The Soliddd team on site, all senior CE industry pros, were already big fans of CES. But being selected this year by the CTA Foundation as an accessibility honoree truly helped to propel our company to new heights. The award, the booth, the tours and the publicity provided instant credibility. We were able to meet with strategic investors, manufacturers, distribution partners, media and even end-users – all well beyond any set of reasonable expectations. We’ll be back in 2026.
