Onkyo Braille Literacy Essay Contest:

The National Federation of the Blind will again administer the Onkyo Braille
Literacy Essay Contest in the United States on behalf of the North
America/Caribbean Region of the World Blind Union. The contest was created
to promote Braille literacy and to encourage the exchange of social and
cultural information. Blind people in the United States and Canada are
eligible to apply.

Essays must be written in Braille and must pertain either to the way one
gains knowledge or independence through Braille or to world peace from the
perspective of a disabled person. The contest has two categories: one for
people twenty-five and younger and the other for people above twenty-five.
Seven cash prizes will be awarded. The contest began February 1, 2010, and
will end April 30, 2010. All entries must be received by April 30.
