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."
