2016 Open Government Awards

After two successful rounds of Awards in 2014 and 2015, showcasing different themes related to open government, this year`s Award theme is "Making Transparency Count". We are asking applicants to show how transparency in government held data or information was made useful for the average citizen in their country.

This year we are inviting civil society organizations to show how they partnered with governments in initiatives that were made possible as a result of the Open Goverment Partnership (OGP) process and/or commitments made in OGP National Action Plans.

We are also interested in youth lead initiatives for our newYouth Award. We want to see greater youth involvement in OGP and hope this award will help us identify future open government champions!

Winners will be honored at the OGP Global Summit in Paris, being held from December 7-9, 2016.

The registration deadline is June 27, 2016 and the application deadline is July 27, 2016. 

Additional information and applications details can be found at the Awards website (www.opengovawards.org).
