Louis Braille Touch of Genius Prize for Innovation is Now Open for Applications
National Braille Press is pleased to announce the Louis Braille Touch of Genius Prize for Innovation is now open for applications. The Gibney Family Foundation initiated the Touch of Genius prize as a tie-in to NBP's recently published biography of Louis Braille to stimulate new thinking in the area of tactile literacy.
The Louis Braille Touch of Genius Prize for Innovation will be granted to an individual or group of individuals who advances the cause of tactile literacy for blind and deafblind people worldwide. Louis Braille was an innovator—and this $20,000 award seeks to identify a similar pacesetter and inspire future innovators.
