2013 National Federation of the Blind (NFB) Writing Contest is Nearing
Closure



The submission period for the annual youth and adult writing contest
sponsored by the Writers' Division is nearing closure! The last date to have
your work land in our inbox is 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 age groups for these authors is
divided into grade levels: Elementary, Middle and High School.



Prizes for contest winners range up to $100 for adult categories and up to
$30 for youth categories.



All contest winners will be announced at the Writers' Division business
meeting during the NFB national convention to be held in Orlando, Florida,
the first week of July, 2013. In addition, shortly after convention, a list
of winners will be sent out and appear on the Writers' Division Website,
www.nfb-writers-division.net. First, second, and third place winners in each
category will be considered for publication in the Writers' Division
magazine, "Slate & Style."
