The contest is for adults who read Braille. There 
are categories for all levels of Braille readers,

Braille Readers Are Leaders program?



This year marks the 30th anniversary of the K-12 
Braille Readers Are Leaders program. To celebrate 
30 years of success, later this fall we will be 
expanding the program and launching Braille 
Readers Are Leaders 360: A Community of 21st 
Century Braille Readers­the first-ever accessible 
online community for children who read Braille! 
The Braille Readers Are Leaders 360 (BRL360) 
online community will provide a safe place online 
where Braille readers in kindergarten through 
twelfth grade can share their literacy experience 
through: online discussions about their favorite 
books, book trailers, live author chats, videos 
of themselves reading Braille, and much more! 
Continuing with the Braille Readers Are Leaders 
mission, BRL360 will promote a pride in Braille 
and a joy of reading among blind children all 
year long. Stay tuned for more information about 
the expansion of our K-12 Braille Readers Are 
Leaders program. Contact us with your questions
