The Braille Working Group of the European Blind Union (EBU) will publish a calendar for 2027 with images composed of braille signs.
A basic example of a braille image is for example a table: ⠹⠉⠉⠏
We invite European countries, their assotiations of blind people or single persons to take part and contribute a braille image.
The calendar will consist of 12 pages for the 12 months of the year. Each page will show an image and a calendar of one month.
The images will be chosen to represent a typical object from twelve different countries.
This can be a famous building, a plant, a tool, something to eat etc.
The calendar will be published for free as a digital braille file to download and print with a braille embosser.
Please contribute to our calendar with such an image composed of braille cells.
Here are a few examples of braille images:
Braiffel Tower
Apple with Worm
Castle Forrest Idyll
Important restriction: The image should consiskt of a maximum of 17 lines with a maximum of 28 cells each.
Please add a descriptive title in English which is not longer than 15 characters.
You can submit your artwork in different ways: as a digital file with Braille text, as a photo where the Braille dots are clearly visible, or traditionally on paper by mail.
Please let us know you would like to take part by 15 July 2026.
Please send in the braille image representing your country by 1 September 2026.
