Subject: Touch of Genius Prize for Innovation from National Braille Press
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
The National Braille Press's Touch of Genius Prize for Innovation is now
accepting entries! Please help us spread the word.
The Touch of Genius Prize was developed to inspire entrepreneurs, educators
or inventors to continue the promotion of braille and tactile literacy for
blind and deafblind people worldwide. This prize can be granted for
innovative and accessible computer software, Android applications, iOS
applications, or tactile hardware that promotes braille and/or tactile
literacy. NBP encourages all applicants to think outside the box to what
can be used to help improve the lives of blind people.
The winner of this prize will receive up to $20,000, which will help them
to continue to innovate in the fields of technology and education for blind
people. Frank Gibney and the Gibney Family Foundation, helped fund and
establish this award in 2007, inspiring people to go beyond what was thought
possible.
The deadline to apply is January 11, 2019. Full application details and
