Corruption has devastating effects that can be difficult to illustrate. But images are also powerful tools in raising awareness and bringing about change. Transparency International is currently hosting the Capture Corruption global photo competition with its main theme – Illustrate the negative effects that corruption has on your world. Participants are invited to submit photos that show how corruption affects people’s lives. Competitions organised in partnership with the Thomson Reuters Foundation and the International Anti-Corruption Conference series. There are two age categories in the competition:
- 18-30 years old
- 31 years old and older
Eligibility
Whether you’re a student who photographs as a hobby, a professional photographer or are just looking for inspiration to use your new camera– everyone can apply, but to be an eligible participant of the photo competition, applicants must be 18 years old or older on 15 July 2015. Employees or those associated with Transparency International and its chapter affiliates are ineligible to apply for the competition as are employees of Thomson Reuters and Thomson Reuters Foundation.
