The Vitebsk Regional Prosecutor's Office informs about the International Youth Competition of Social Anti-Corruption Advertising "Together Against Corruption!"

03.06.2026

In accordance with Article 13 of the United Nations Convention against Corruption of October 31, 2003, each State Party, including the Republic of Belarus, shall take measures to promote the active involvement of individuals and groups in the prevention of and the fight against corruption. The goal is to deepen society's understanding of the existence, causes, and dangerous nature of corruption, as well as the threats it poses.

In order to organize constructive international cooperation, create an atmosphere of intolerance towards corruption, and take joint effective measures to combat this negative social phenomenon, Belarus, along with Armenia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, and Tajikistan, actively participates in the activities of the Interstate Council for Combating Corruption – a sectoral cooperation body of the Commonwealth of Independent States.

Under the auspices of this council, the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation annually organizes the International Youth Competition of Social Anti-Corruption Advertising "Together Against Corruption!", which is open to participants from all countries.

Contestants aged 10 to 25 are invited to prepare thematic social advertising in the following categories:

·                     "Best Drawing";

·                     "Best Poster";

·                     "Best Video Clip".

It is expected that the competition entries will reflect modern state mechanisms for combating corruption at all levels and in all spheres of public and state life,
as well as the role and significance of international cooperation in this area.

The submission of entries is organized on the official website of the international competition www.anticorruption.life until October 1, 2026. The rules for its conduct are also posted there.

The international competition consists of two stages.

The first stage – the semi-final – will be held from May 1 to October 1, 2026, separately in each country. Entries in each nomination will be evaluated by national competition commissions. Award ceremonies are planned to be held based on the results.

Competition entries that take first place will advance to the second stage – the final, which will be held in October – November 2026. During the final, the International Competition Jury will determine the winners and prize-winners in each nomination. The award ceremony for them with diplomas, valuable gifts, and commemorative prizes is planned to be held in Moscow, timed to coincide with the International Anti-Corruption Day (December 9).

We express our hope that this unique project will attract the attention of young people to the problem of corruption and contribute to the creation of an intolerant attitude in society towards its manifestations.
