Louis Braille Touch of Genius Prize for Innovation

The National Braille Press is looking for projects that focus on tactile
literacy for the blind and visually impaired and promote braille literacy or
access to information. Applications from individuals, groups, companies, and
anything in between are acceptable.

The Touch of Genius Prize for Innovation, a $20,000 prize provided through
the support of The Gibney Family Foundation, recognizes an individual or
group of individuals who contribute to innovation in the field of tactile
literacy for blind people. As part of the Center for Braille Innovation, the
Touch of Genius Prize helps inspire innovation in technology and education
and acts as a potential vehicle for exploring partnerships with those who are
on the forefront of tactile innovations.

The deadline is January 9, 2017.
