Braille Challenge is the only academic competition of its kind for students who are blind or visually impaired. Braille Institute developed Braille Challenge to motivate students to practice and hone their braille literacy skills, which are essential to academic and employment success.

All students at all academic levels are welcome to participate in the Preliminary Contest. Only students who take the Preliminary Contest in contracted braille that corresponds to their age-appropriate academic grade level will be eligible to be invited to the Finals. However, to encourage full inclusion and maximum participation in the preliminary round, a student may take any level of contest.

 

Contest Age Groups for students competing on grade level:

    • Apprentice 1st and 2nd grades
    • Freshman 3rd and 4th grades
    • Sophomore 5th and 6th grades
    • Junior Varsity 7th, 8th and 9th grades
    • Varsity 10th, 11th and 12th grades
