2018 TI Future Against Corruption Award For Young People

2018 TI Future Against Corruption Award For Young People

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.

Participants must meet the following requirements:

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