The Allard Prize for International Integrity is awarded biennially to an individual, movement or organization that has demonstrated exceptional courage and leadership in combating corruption, especially through promoting transparency, accountability and the Rule of Law. It is one of the world’s largest prizes dedicated to the fight against corruption and protecting human rights. The Allard Prize is administered by the Peter A. Allard School of Law at the University of British Columbia.
A photography competition runs alongside the prize and we are delighted to announce that Giles Clarke is one of this year’s prize winners with his photo of Sameer from the powerful ‘Bhopal, Toxic Trespass’ series.
Our congratulations go to Giles for yet another important prize. Allard Prize gallery: CLICK
