Tactile Book Contest!

ClearVision's tactile picture books are incredibly special. We're proud to be part of the Typhlo and Tactus group: an organisation which exists to support tactile book creators and encourage the production and use of tactile picture books across the world. More tactile books for everyone!

Every two years Typhlo and Tactus hold the world's largest competition for tactile book creators. ClearVision hosts the UK judging round, when a panel of our young borrowers will select up to 5 UK entries to go on to  the international competition will be held in Prague, Czech Republic, in October 2026.

Anyone can enter, whether it's their first book or their fiftieth! Entry is free and there are prizes. In the past we've had great entries from crafters, teachers, students, stitching groups and school children. To enter, you just need to send your book to ClearVision by Friday 5th June 2026; entry forms will be available for download from this page soon. See the guidance on our Making Books page, which opens in a new tab. Don't worry if you don't read or write braille, we'll put that in for you! Good luck!
