Since 1993, Transparency International (TI) has been leading the fight against corruption worldwide, working in more than 100 countries as part of a broader global movement. What TI’s work has consistently proven is that corruption can be challenged.

People between the age of 18 and 35 are invited to submit a short video clip presenting their idea on new ways to fight corruption.

The Committee will use the following criteria to assess eligible nominations:
IMPACT

  • Recipients demonstrate that fighting corruption is possible and can have an impact on society and public good.
  • Recipients should be working in a country or region in which open society is at risk, and their anti-corruption work should strive to ensure that society does not falter.

COURAGE

  • The action must be particularly exemplary, inspirational and deserving of wide international recognition.
  • The recipient should be recognised for the potential or actual risks of their anti-corruption work.
  • The action should attract interest and emulation in other parts of the world.

SUSTAINABILITY

  • The action should recognise the longevity of commitment to fighting corruption.
  • The action contributes to the durability and strength of the anti-corruption effort.

Please note that the selection criteria are based on the content of the video, not on the resolution or video graphic quality.

  • Eligible participants must be above the age of 18 and under the age of 35.
