TI Turkey will be giving the Transpraency Awards to recognise a particular action or initiative undertaken by one or several individuals or organisations which constitutes a tangible contribution to the fight against corruption and the goals of the TI movement. While recipients of the Awards would be expected to be of exemplary character, the Awards will recognise a particular action or initiative and are not made solely or mainly for reasons of demonstrated good character.
The TI Awards may be conferred to a person (or an organisation) discharging official or professional duties as well as to an activist(s) from all walks of life. The Awards Committee, the body responsible for evaluating nominations and choosing winners, may choose up to three award recipients per year. In making these awards, the Committee will take into consideration the need to recognise efforts in diverse fields of civil society, the private sector and government and to acknowledge anti-corruption initiatives throughout the world. The Award consists of a trophy and participation in a public award ceremony that gathers a broad range of people and institutions that make up the anti-corruption movement or support it.
