Onkyo International Braille Essay Contest
Once again the European Blind Union is co-ordinating the European
entries
into this contest, and there are cash prizes up for grabs!
The theme is 'Braille literacy changes my way of life'. The aim is to

the
theme your own imaginative twist.
The purpose of the competition is to promote the use of braille as a
key to
blind people's access to information and social inclusion.
Entries should be no longer than 1,000 words, be submitted in either
hard
copy braille or electronic braille and be in English or your national
language. Essays should carry the following details, name, age and
country
of candidate, number of words and the EBU member processing the entry
(which
will be Peter Osborne from RNIB)
Terms and conditions apply.
