The 2025 VICTA Braille Art competition is open! Deadline 31 January

World Braille Day means a lot to us at VICTA, even more so as 2025 celebrates 200 years of Braille. Help us celebrate and shine the spotlight on this life-changing system of dots by entering the VICTA Braille Art Competition 2025.

Who can enter?

The competition is open to VI children and young adults from 0 to 29 years. There are different age categories to enter into with different themes, a category for school entries, and amazing prizes up-for-grabs, so it’s time to get creative!

Category 1, open to 0 to 10 years

Braille your name

Find a unique way to represent your name in Braille. Previous entries have used everything from cupcakes to footballs!

Category 2, open to 10 to 29 years

Change and adapt

Create a piece of Braille art on the theme “Change and Adapt”, this year’s topic for British Science Week. Be as creative as you like!

New for this year! Category 3, open to 10 to 29 years: Take up Clarke’s Braille challenge!

VICTA Patron Clarke Reynolds is a blind artist who LOVES braille! This year he has set you a special challenge, create a piece of braille art themed around the word “Love”. Watch the video on YouTube to find out more.

Would your VI organisation or school like to take part?

We are welcoming group entries from VI organisations or schools and colleges. Groups and schools can enter all three categories.
