The Talent Show for Honest People

In the Integrity Idol talent show, it doesn’t matter if you can sing or dance, the winner just has to be honest

In this talent show, it doesn’t matter if you can sing or dance, the winner just has to be honest and good at their job. It’s called Integrity Idol and the aim is to β€œname and fame” honest government workers - people who reject corruption and refuse to take bribes. The idea is that this creates positive role models to change society for the better.

The competition is being run in seven countries around the world. Hundreds of candidates are found from each country, a panel of judges choses the five best, and the public votes on the winner.

World Hacks visits the final of the competition in Nepal and asks what difference this approach can make.
