Transparency International (TI) is inviting individuals and organisations to submit nominations for the 2005 Integrity Awards. The annual awards recognise the courage and determination of individuals and organisations fighting corruption around the world. Candidates must have undertaken an action that have had a significant impact on existing levels of corruption in his or her country or region. Their actions must be particularly imaginative, innovative or courageous, and deserving of international recognition. The TI Integrity Awards were established in 2000. To date, awards have been given to 11 activists. Previous African winners include: Mustapha Adib, an Air Force captain from Morocco who served a two-and-a-half year prison term after he exposed an oil and - supplies scam in the Moroccan military, and Naftali Lagat and David Munyakei, a police officer and Central Bank clerk from Kenya, who helped to expose the Goldenberg scandal, one of the largest and most complex financial scandals in Kenyan history.

Award winners will be honoured on 11 November 2005.

Deadline: 1 July 2005
