Between September 22 and 24, 2006
the Brasov Association of the Blind organized the regional stages of the
annual competitions included in the Romanian Association of the Blind’s
calendar. A total of 24 visually impaired competitors from 10 Romanian
counties participated to the event which took place at Mariana Pension
in Moeciu de Jos.

"The organization of three regional
competitions is a first for our branch, especially since one of them is
the one designed for visually impaired women, which is at its first
Romanian edition. Our branch is proud for the chance to organize this
premiere" stated Mr. Virgil Lazar, President of the Brasov Association
of the Blind.
The branch president also added to
his statement that "the importance of these competitions is not given by
the value of the prizes, but by their major contribution to the
socialization of the visually impaired people from our country".

The first competition from the
calendar was the “Friends of the Braille book” national competition, a
general knowledge contest which is at its 48th edition, this year its
theme being the volume “Enescu Today” by Viorel Cozma. This traditional
competition was followed by the 6th edition of the “Fast and correct
reading in the Braille system” contest. The regional stages ended with
the first edition of the “Your Look Counts” competition for visually
impaired women, the first theme for this new contest being “You are so
beautiful…”
