[Nfbnet-members-list] Writers Contest Closing Soon

[David Andrews]

2012 NFB Writing Contest
Closing April 1st

We've gotten many great submissions, but there is much, much room for 
more! If you are planning to send us your work, watch out for the 
fast coming deadline.

For those of you who are out of high school and over the age of 
eighteen, submit to one or more of the adult contests. We are looking 
for poetry, fiction, non-fiction, and stories for youth.

If you meet the requirements for the Youth Writing Contest, and you 
write either poetry and/or fiction, then we are looking for your 
stuff! We require all submissions to be sent to us both as an 
electronic file (Word document) and in hard-copy Braille. Entries 
will be judged on creativity and quality of Braille. The age groups 
for these authors is divided into grade levels: Elementary, Middle 
and High School.

Prizes for contest winners range up to $100 for adult categories and 
up to $30 for youth categories.

All contest winners will be announced at the Writers' Division 
business meeting during the NFB national convention to be held in 
Dallas, Texas, the first week of July, 2012. In addition, shortly 
after convention, a list of winners will appear on the Writers' 
Division Website,
