<DIV><B>Subject:</B> [Nfbnet-members-list] BlindHow.com Employment Contest: Win
an iPadMini</DIV></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV> <BR>Interested in winning an iPad mini? Well BlindHow.com
is giving a brand new one away this May and all you have to do is tell us about
your job and how you do it.<BR>Blind people across the country and around the
world work in every field imaginable, including but not limited to medicine,
office and clerical work, education, engineering, meteorology, and law. At <A
href="http://www.blindhow.com/">www.blindhow.com</A> we want to know how you are
doing your job and what techniques you use to get the job done right. It is our
mission to educate everyone (both blind and sighted) about the capabilities of
the blind by demonstrating how we as blind people are able to succeed in the
workforce.<BR>We believe that it is not blindness that creates a barrier to
independence and employment. Rather, it is the lack of accurate information as
well as the misconceptions and stereotypes that create the greatest obstacles to
meaningful employment for the blind. In order to change these misconceptions, we
are running a campaign to hear from as many blind people as possible about their
work. <BR>As promised, someone will be the lucky winner of a free iPad mini. All
you have to do to be eligible is submit a post on our website telling about your
work and how it’s done. You can earn points for completing different
submissions. For every 5 points you earn, you will receive one entry in the iPad
Mini drawing. So if you have 30 points, your name goes into the drawing 6 times,
40 points gets your name in 8 times, and so
on.<BR>· A written description about your
job and the alternative techniques you use will earn you 10 points.
<BR>· A written post along with an audio
demonstration of the alternative techniques you use will earn you 20 points.
<BR>· A written description along with a
recorded video demonstration will earn you 30 points.
<BR>· If you refer someone to blindhow.com
and they submit a post about their job, you will gain an additional 5 points. To
earn referral points, both you and the person you refer must send us an email
using the email link on blindhow.com to tell us who you referred or who referred
you.<BR>Our employment contest has been running from October 1, 2013 and will
continue until April 30, 2014. We will draw our iPad Mini winner in May at our
NFB of Utah state convention. So please submit your posts, and refer more people
to increase your chances of winning. Good luck to all who participate.<BR>The
ultimate goal of this project is to use this information to help educate the
public about what we do as blind people, and hopefully we can open more doors to
make it easier for qualified blind people to find
employment.<BR> <BR>Sincerely,<BR>The BlindHow Team<BR>\<BR> "Adam
