Posredujemo poziv organizacije LightHouse for the Blind iz San Francisca. V pozivu vabijo vse ambiciozne slepe, da sodelujejo na nagradnem natečaju za Holmanovo nagrado v višini $25,000.
Holmanova nagrada zagotavlja finančno podporo trem slepim posameznikom pri njihovih projektih, ki so izvedeni v roku enega leta. Od leta 2017, ko so pričeli podeljevati nagrado, so finančno podprli šest oseb.

Postopek se začne z izzivom: slepi kandidati morajo pripraviti 90-sekundni YouTube posnetek. Več informacij o sami nagradi in postopku prijave je na voljo v spodnjem sporočilu in na spletni strani Holmanove nagrade ter Facebook strani Holmanove nagrade.

Greetings from LightHouse for the Blind in San Francisco! I hope this finds you well!
I’m writing to let you know that the LightHouse’s annual $25,000 prize for ambitious blind people, the Holman Prize, is accepting applications  starting today at 5 p.m.
The Holman Prize provides financial backing for three blind individuals pursuing a project of their own design over the course of a year. These proposals may involve travel, community organizing, athletics, creating art and more. Since we launched the prize in 2017, we’ve funded six winners with diverse projects that span from African beekeeping and blind world travel resources to physical feats like kayaking and extreme triathlons.
The process begins with a challenge: blind applicants must submit a first-round pitch, in the form of a 90-second YouTube video. It’s not as daunting as it might sound — more information about the application process can be found on the Holman Prize website​.
I’m writing to ask you to share the news of this prize with your communities and encourage people in your network to apply. You can help spread the news by forwarding this email, sharing this video about our 2018 prizewinners or inviting your friends and colleagues to like the Holman Prize Facebook page.
Please note that submissions for the 2019 Holman Prize close February 28th, 2019 at 12 Noon Pacific Standard Time. We’re encouraging any and all eligible blind adults worldwide to apply, even if they’ve applied previously.
