Deadline: 27 February 2015
The Corruption Watch encourages African youth to participate in My Corruption-Free Africa online competition. Participants may apply for writing or photography based challenge on anti-corruption theme. Participant must depict their original blog entry or photography work.
There are three prizes for each category with different amount:
- Prize for 2nd runner up – $250 USD
- Prize for 1st runner up – $500 USD
- Prize for winner – $1000 USD
The Corruption Watch is a non-profit civil society organization that relies on public to report about corruption. Through Corruption Watch platform, anyone can safely share their experience and can speak against corruption.
Eligibility Criteria
- Only African youth are eligible to participate.
- Participants between the age 16-30 are only eligible to enter in the competition.
- Employees of Corruption Watch are not allowed to participate.
How to Apply
Firstly, participants have to submit their entries.
- Round 1 (The public votes): all eligible applications, as approved by an internal selection committee, will be made available on website. The public will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite piece and the top 60 entrants (30 for writing and 30 for photography) will go through to the second round. Wildcards will be introduced to increase the chance of applicants from less ICT enabled countries, who by definition will have a more difficult time crowd sourcing votes. The wildcards will be decided upon by the internal selection committee.
- Round 2 (Independent panel selection): two independent panels will be nominated by Corruption Watch to review the entries and a winner, with two runner-ups, will be selected in each category.
