National Braille Press would like to 
invite you to apply for an award to 
honor those innovating in the field 
of Tactile Literacy. You could be 
awarded up to $20,000. 
The 2014 Louis Braille Touch of Genius Prize for Innovation was developed to 
inspire an innovator to continue the promotion of Braille literacy for blind and 
deafblind people worldwide. 
The prize will be granted to an individual, group of individuals, or a company who 
has developed an innovative and accessible product in one of the following 
categories: 
?

for blind people and promote Braille literacy or access to information.
