In 1993, a few individuals decided to take a stance against corruption
and created Transparency International. Twenty years later – we are
continuing the global fight against corruption. Among the activities to
ring in Transparency International’s 20th anniversary are a youth
writing competition, youth photo competition and live events around the
world – all to raise awareness about the corrosive problem of corruption
and how it can be tackled. The deadline for this year’s competitions is
1 July 2013.
