Call for Entries Now Open

The 6th annual contest celebrating successful partnerships between civil society, business, and government is now accepting submissions. This competition invites projects planned for implementation during 2025–2026. Eligible participants include representatives from state authorities, local governments, community organizations, and the business sector. The deadline to submit applications is October 31, 2026.

Focus Areas of the Contest

Projects can address a wide range of themes, such as:

  • support for military personnel
  • humanitarian aid and rehabilitation
  • reconstruction efforts
  • education
  • culture
  • community development
  • public awareness campaigns

Each submitted initiative must demonstrate collaboration among all three sectors: government, business, and civil society. The most outstanding examples of cooperation will be compiled into a publication designed to share best practices across Ukraine.

This initiative is organized by the Center for Democracy and the Rule of Law (CEDoL) in partnership with the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine, the Secretariat of the Cabinet of Ministers, the National Social Service of Ukraine, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the National Agency for Prevention of Corruption. Applications must be submitted through a designated form.

The competition aims to strengthen partnerships between public authorities, the private sector, and civic organizations—an essential driver for advancing civil society in Ukraine. Showcasing successful collaborations not only inspires similar efforts but also fosters trust and improves cooperation across societal sectors, contributing to more effective solutions to social challenges.

As the deadline for submissions to the 2026 Creative and Research Paper Competition approaches, it presents an excellent opportunity for law students to explore the complexities of prosecutorial work in the context of war. Engaging in such competitions can enhance understanding of legal frameworks and promote innovative thinking in addressing societal challenges.
