In order to learn from these experiences, we visited ten of the ASL BiSL Trophy and Awards winners and asked them to share their story about the competition. Why did they submit their case? What did the application of ASL or BiSL yield their organization, what was it like to win a prize and what happened to them afterwards? Their experiences are recorded in this compilation.
