Dear Fellow Author, Friend, Teacher, or Parent
*RE: Reminder Notice of, the 2015 NFB WRITERS’ DIVISION WRITING CONTEST
*
It is time for all of you to be gathering up, and/or sitting down to 
begin creating your entries for the annual NFB Writers’ Division’s 
annual writing contest; opening in thirteen days. Read the insert below, 
and Ready set go!

The annual youth and adult writing contests sponsored by the NFB 
Writers’ Division will open January 1st and close April 1st.

NEW THIS YEAR: 2015, being the Federation’s 75th birthday, the contest 
will for the first time ever, have a required theme. All submissions 
will need to somehow incorporate the theme of 75. It does not have to be 
necessarily about the anniversary of NFB. It could just be the number 
75, or perhaps the diamond anniversary, or 75 steps to your destination, 
or even 75 balloons. Thinking of past entries, 75 aliens would work. 
Seriously, let your imagination take over. Write the piece you want, 
just remember to include the theme of 75; this is inspired by the 75 
years of the great work that has been happening within, and because of 
the National Federation of the Blind.

Adult contests, poetry, fiction, non-fiction, and stories for youth are 
open to all entrants eighteen and over.

The youth writing contest, poetry and fiction, are to promote Braille 
literacy and excellence in writing. 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, a list of winners will appear on 
our website, http://writers.nfb.org

All winners from both, the adult and youth contests will be considered 
for publication in our Division’s magazine, /Slate & Style/.

For additional contest details and submission guidelines, go to our 
website, http://writers.nfb.org

Respectfully yours,
Robert Leslie Newman
President, NFB Writers’ division

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the 
characteristic that defines you or your future.
Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low 
expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams.
You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
