Your chance to design a global campaign! Tell the world how to combat corruption!

Deadline is March 15

9 December is the International Anti-Corruption Day.  UNDP and UNODC, since 2009, have promoted global public campaigns to mark the International Anti-Corruption Day and make it powerful day of action against corruption. The campaign theme for 2009 and 2010 was ‘Your No Counts’. The “ACT – Against Corruption Today” theme was adopted for the 2011 and 2012 campaigns. The ‘Your No Counts’ and ‘ACT’ campaigns encourage involvement of all sections of society in addressing the root causes of corruption and also serve as a platform for policy dialogue and action at national and global level.

UNDP and UNODC want to continue to mobilize public and strengthen state and non-state actors’ commitment to address corruption through International Anti-Corruption Day Campaigns. Therefore, UNDP and UNODC want to engage youth across the world, through an open competition, to choose 2013’s International Anti-Corruption Day campaign theme and logo.

Criteria for selecting the theme and logo

–          The theme/name should aim to be less than five words

–          The theme should embody the message that everyone has the responsibility to address corruption

–          It should be catchy and appealing, and be able to mobilize public, state and non-state actors

–          The theme message should be translatable or adaptable to other UN official languages

–          The logo should capture the message of the theme in other UN official languages

–          The logo should be clean, simple and in primary colours
