Deadline: January 24, 2025

Applications are open for the ICN/World Bank Group Competition Advocacy Contest 2025. The International Competition Network (ICN) and the World Bank Group are pleased to announce the launch of the 2025 Competition Advocacy Contest. This contest aims to highlight the key role competition agencies, sector regulators and other governmental bodies or non-governmental organizations play in promoting competition by showcasing their advocacy success stories.

As defined by the ICN, competition advocacy refers to activities that promote a competitive environment through non-enforcement mechanisms, such as building relationships with government entities, increasing public awareness of competition’s benefits and identifying and removing anticompetitive policies and regulations.

They are looking for success stories from competition agencies, other public bodies or civil society that demonstrate the tangible results of competition advocacy under four themes:

  • Supporting resilient and competitive value chains to enable private investment, jobs, and consumer welfare.
  • Embedding competition principles in policies to manage state assets: SOEs, privatization and public private partnerships.
  • Enhancing public procurement and curbing bid rigging for government savings.
  • Advancing competition through public-private dialogue.

Eligibility

  • Competition agencies, sector regulators and other government bodies and non-governmental organizations promoting competition policy are welcome to apply.
  • If you are not a member of the ICN, you should reach out to the ICN member in your jurisdiction to inform about your intention to participate in the contest. A list of all ICN members is available here. Joint submissions from ICN members and government bodies or non-governmental organizations are encouraged.
  • In order to participate, candidates must complete the online survey.
  • Stories submitted to previous editions of the contest that were not awarded are eligible for resubmission.

Selection Criteria

Submissions will undergo a rigorous assessment of the following criteria:

  • Relevance of the competition issue tackled by the initiative;
  • Success of the advocacy activity – results achieved;
  • Impact and effects on markets, spillover effects and lessons learned;
  • Advocacy strategy – creativity and originality, cooperation mechanisms deployed.

Application

The deadline for submissions is January 24, 2025. Winners and honorable mentions will be announced in advance of the 2025 ICN Annual Conference.
