To observe the International Anti-Corruption Day on 9th December 2018, Transparency International (TI) is collaborating with the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) to honour young people from all over the world who challenge corruption through their innovative and inspiring ideas.
People between the age of 18 and 35 were invited to submit a short video clip presenting their idea on new ways to fight corruption.
The Future Against Corruption Award may be conferred to activists from all walks of life. Three finalists will be selected out of the submitted entries by the general public as well as the Award Committee.
