2014 NFB Writers’ Division Writing Contest
 
The annual youth and adult writing contests sponsored by the NFB Writers’ Division will open January 1st and will close April 1st. 
 
Adult contests, poetry, fiction, non-fiction, and stories for youth are open to all entrants eighteen years and over. 
 
The Youth Writing Contest, poetry and fiction, is to promote Braille literacy and excellence in creative writing. Entries will be judged on creativity and quality of Braille. The contest is divided into three groups, determined by grade level – elementary, middle, and high school.
 
Prizes for contest winners range up to $100 for adult categories and up to $30 for youth. 
 
All contest winners will be announced the first week in July, at the Writers’ Division business meeting during the NFB national convention, held in Orlando, Florida. In addition, shortly after convention, a list of winners will appear on the Writers’ Division’s Website, http://writers.nfb.org 
First, second, and third place winners in each category will be considered for publication in the Writers’ Division magazine, “Slate & Style.”
