Have you invented a product or method that uses the sense of touch to convey information?
If so, we invite you to apply for the Louis Braille Touch of Genius Prize for Innovation. The Prize will be awarded to an individual or group of individuals who contribute to innovation in the field of tactile literacy for blind people. The Prize can be granted for a new educational method; a new tactile literacy product; or a new technological advance.
In any of these areas, the innovation must demonstrate some aspect of tactile literacy. Tactile literacy refers to any product, method, or service that has the effect of increasing access to information through the sense of touch.
The $20,000 prize is provided through support from The Gibney Family Foundation and National Braille Press. The deadline to be considered for the Prize is June 15.
