The next international edition of the competition will take place from 5th to 8th October 2024 at Lublin (Poland).
Anyone living in one of the 18 participating countries is free to participate. To do so, she/he sends her/his tactile illustrated book entry (original creation or adaptation of an existing book), accessible to visually impaired young people from 0 to 12 years old (all details in the Rules), to the T&T national partner which will organize the selection process. Each entry must be accompanied by a Registration form.
If there is no T&T national partner in your country, you unfortunately cannot participate, unless you can find an organization willing to become a new T&T partner!
The T&T national partner of the national selection process that receives the entries sets up a jury to select up to 5 best entries. The tactile illustrations, text, binding, colors and contrast, style, the reproducibility of the book, and finally the manageability of the format are examined (see our Tips).
This same selection occurs simultaneously in all 18 participating countries.
