The twenty-third Braille Challenge Finalists have been announced here. Congratulations!! We couldn’t be more excited to share the news.
Each year, we have the honor of highlighting and celebrating youth from all over North America and the United Kingdom in their quest to pursue braille literacy. Regionals wrapped for over 800 youth, scoring was completed and the list of Finalists has been announced where the top scoring 50 youth who are blind or visually impaired will now gear up to travel to Los Angeles to compete in the The Braille Challenge Finals in June.
