The Integrity Organisation is open for submissions for their 30th Anniversary Art 4 Integrity Competition on the theme: The Integrity Generation: Reimagining Nigeria Through Art.

The program hopes to celebrate “bold, brilliant Nigerian creatives” who are “flipping the script – rising from adversity with courage, creativity, and conscience. The program seeks works that reflect the pain and pressure of surviving Nigeria’s corruption crisis, the boldness of pushing through, the beauty of truth, innovation, hope, and resilience, and the kind of future we’re building together – one where integrity leads.”

Selected submissions will be featured in exhibitions, digital campaigns, and reports. Winners will receive the sum of ₦2 million, while the runner up will get a ₦1 million cash prize and opportunities to showcase their work. Participants will have their work featured with credit across the organization’s platforms and initiatives.

The Integrity Organisation has been championing ethical leadership and social transformation in Nigeria for three decades. The organization continues to inspire and support initiatives that promote transparency, accountability, and positive change across Nigerian society.
