The TRACE Foundation is accepting entries for its 2025 prize for investigative reporting.
The award aims to recognise journalism that uncovers business-related bribery and financial crime with the goal of increasing commercial transparency and good governance.
Nominees may be print, broadcast or online reporters from any country who have investigated commercial bribery schemes, business activities that create serious conflicts of interest or similar commercial misconduct. Team entries and multiple submissions per author are permitted. Book-length entries are not accepted.
Works must have appeared in 2024 and may cover actual violations of law and activities that create significant conflicts of interest and related misconduct. Entries not originally written/produced in English must be accompanied by a translation.
Up to two winners will be selected to receive US$10,000 each. In addition, they will be invited to an awards ceremony organised by TRACE International.
Two honourable mentions will each receive US$1,000.
