Braille Readers Are Leaders
First Annual Contest for Adults
November 1, 2009 January 4, 2010
We know that the majority of gainfully employed
blind adults use Braille daily, demonstrating
that Braille readers are leaders! To promote the
use of Braille in recreational reading among
blind adults as a means to maintain and improve
their skills, the National Federation of the
Blind is pleased to announce the addition of the
Braille Readers Are Leaders contest for adults.
Braille reading individuals 18 years of age or
older who are no longer enrolled in compulsory
educational programming in the USA and Canada are
eligible to compete in the contest. Adults with
various levels of experience reading Braille are
welcome to join in the fun. Contestants will
compete for cash prizes, national recognition,
and bragging rights. To add to the fun,
participants have the opportunity to form teams
to compete for a special award! Registration
begins October 1, 2009; so form your teams, get
some interesting reading material, and warm up
your fingers! For detailed information please visit www.nfb.org/bral
