Competition Overview
The Art4Integrity Competition is a call to young Nigerians, the Integrity Generation, who are shaping a new Nigeria with bold ideas, clean hands, and powerful art. From tech to music, sports to activism, we’re proving that corruption never had the final say. In celebration of 30 years of Integrity Organisation’s fight for a better Nigeria, this competition invites you to create with courage, through painting, photography, digital design, poetry, spoken word, or even memes, and tell the story of resilience, ingenuity, and hope.
