TRACE Prize for Investigative Reporting

TRACE International, an anti-bribery non-profit organization, is accepting entries to its inaugural TRACE Prize for Investigative Reporting.

Print reporters, citizen journalists, and bloggers are invited to send articles that uncovered “commercial bribery with the goal of advancing commercial transparency”. The articles must have been published in print in the year 2015. Series of articles are also accepted, provided that at least half of the stories were published in 2015.

Submitted works may also cover actual violations of law and activities that create conflicts of interest and misconduct.

Two winners will be awarded USD10,000 each and a funded trip to the July 2016 awarding ceremony to be held in Cambridge University, United Kingdom.

Deadline for entries is on January 29, 2016. For more details, visit this page.
