St. Louis Regional Braille Challenge Contestant Registration 2025

Participant Registration

The 2025 St. Louis Regional Braille Challenge (STLRBC) will take place in-person at the Missouri School for the Blind (MSB) on Wednesday, February 19, 2025, from 9 am to 3:30 pm.

About the Braille Challenge:

The Braille Institute developed The Braille Challenge to motivate students to practice and hone their braille literacy skills, which are essential to academic and employment success.

Open to students in grades 1-12, Braille Challenge provides a fun and friendly competition for students to show off their braille skills, meet new people, and participate in the day’s activities!

Any blind or visually impaired student who can read and write braille is eligible to participate in the Braille Challenge.

All Contestants are divided into five categories and tested on fundamental braille skills such as reading comprehension, spelling, speed and accuracy, proofreading, and charts and graphs. Contests are proctored by volunteer Teachers of the Visually Impaired and scored locally by volunteer transcribers based on national guidelines.
