CHANGEMAKERS' ENDING CORRUPTION COMPETITION


Does your organisation work towards a more transparent and accountable society in an innovative way? If your initiative tackles public responsibility, encourages good governance or promotes the rule of law, you are encouraged to enter Changemakers' "Ending Corruption: Honesty Instituted" collaborative competition.

Your entry should focus on the theme, be innovative, and demonstrate proof that your initiative has made a social impact. Members of Changemakers will post insights and questions about the entries, and competition participants can revise their entries based on those comments. The top three initiatives will be awarded US$5,000 each.

Changemakers, a project of the international association of social entrepreneurs Ashoka, focuses on the world of social innovation.

The contest is open for entry until 16 May 2007.
