Please get your creative genes to work and enter a tactile book for the

This is an international competition with classes for books suitable for all
ages and for books made by visually impaired people.
 
Entry is FREE and we need lots of entries and entries mean prizes.
 
 
International Tactile Book Competition 2008 
Make a difference - make a tactile book 
 
The Tactile Book Advancement Group (TBAG) is organising an international
competition to encourage more people to take up the challenge of designing
and making books with effective tactile illustrations for visually-impaired
children. 
 
The competition is being organised in association with the 'Tactile Graphics
2008' conference in Birmingham, UK, from 3 - 5 December 2008 run by the
Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB).
(www.nctd.org.uk/conference) 
Short-listed entries will be exhibited at the conference, where conference
delegates will be invited to vote for their favourite book. Further winners
will be selected by a panel of specialists in the field. 
 
There will be awards for the best books in a number of categories, including
a category for commercially published books. Award-winning entries will be
publicised in the press and on the TBAG website. 
 
Everyone is welcome to enter and we will be glad to receive entries from
people who have never made a tactile book before. Entry to the competition
is free. 
 
Please visit the TBAG website for full entry information and downloadable
entry forms - and for guidance and ideas!
