All students at all academic levels are welcome to participate in the Preliminary Contest, both individually and at a regional event. Every student who completes a Preliminary Round Contest will be acknowledged with a certificate and a special prize, so everyone is a winner.
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. Also, the Apprentice preliminary contest is offered in uncontracted braille and also can be taken by students of any age.
The form below is for Regional Event Coordinators ONLY to order contest packets. If you are a teacher administering the tests to your students, please use the Preliminary Contest Request Form for Teachers to register your students.
If you would like your students to participate in a regional event, please contact the regional event hosting agency directly to register.
