International Collective Action Awards 2026: nominations open

International Collective Action Awards

Nominations are now open for the International Anti-Corruption Collective Action Awards 2026, recognising organisations and initiatives that demonstrate leadership, impact and innovation in advancing Collective Action to prevent corruption and strengthen business integrity.

The awards will be presented at the International Collective Action Conference 2026, taking place on 9–10 June 2026 in Basel, Switzerland.

Organisations and initiatives can submit their nomination for two award categories:

  • Outstanding Achievement in Collective Action 2026 – acknowledging significant contributions towards fairer market conditions and the prevention of corruption through engagement in Collective Action.
  • Collective Action Inspirational Newcomer 2026 – showcase accomplishments of initiatives that have been active in the field of anti-corruption Collective Action for less than two years.

Nomination are open until 27 March 2026.

The anti-corruption Collective Action Awards are non-monetary and will only be granted to organisations, not individuals. 

Selection process

Eligible nominations will be reviewed by an international jury of experts. The three highest-scoring initiatives in each category will be shortlisted as finalists. Winners will then be determined through a combined vote of the jury and the public, with each jury member and the public vote carrying equal weight.

Public voting will take place online and will be anonymous.

  • Nathalie Delapalme, Chief Executive Officer of the Mo Ibrahim Foundation
  • Nicola Bonucci, Board Member of the Basel Institute on Governance and former Director for Legal Affairs at the OECD
