Nominees may be print, broadcast, or online journalists from any nation who have looked into business bribery schemes, activities that seriously contradict with one’s interests, or other types of commercial misbehaviour. It’s okay to enter as a team and to submit more than once. Entries longer than a book are not allowed.

Guidelines

• Entries must contain financial fraud or business-related bribes.
• You have the option of submitting your own work or suggesting someone else’s. Please get the author’s consent before nominating someone else’s work.
• The publication of entries in print, online, or broadcast media during 2022 is required. Any entry that was not created or written in English must be submitted with a translation.
• No books will be accepted.
• If a submission was only published in print, kindly attach a scan. If a scan yields an ambiguous result, kindly also submit a transcript of the article in Word or PDF format.
• Please include a link or file if your entry involves broadcast journalism (TV, radio, internet video).
• Up to two winners may be chosen by a panel of impartial judges who will then evaluate the submissions and award each with a cash reward of $10,000. A TRACE-hosted award event will be open to reporters. Up to two honourable mentions may also be selected by the judges, and each will receive $1,000.

• The TRACE Prize jury is an independent body. Beyond managing logistics, the TRACE Foundation is not involved in the selection process, and TRACE International, a separate organisation, and its members have no say in who receives the TRACE Prize.
