NASBA Center For Public Trust 
Have you ever faced an ethical dilemma where the right thing to do was unclear? Ethical dilemmas occur every day in business. In these situations, knowing the right thing to do can be difficult because all choices can have undesirable consequences.
The NASBA Center for the Public Trust (CPT) is focused on helping individuals identify and respond to ethical dilemmas in their careers. To support this goal, we’re encouraging students to create videos that demonstrate the types of challenging ethical dilemmas people could face in their careers.
Our Ethics in Action Video Competition is open to undergraduate and graduate students at colleges, junior colleges and universities in the United States and its territories. Videos can end with a thought-provoking question that challenges viewers to think about the best solution, or videos can showcase the solution they believe would be most appropriate.
Winners will be chosen among the entries by a panel of expert judges that will include ethical leaders and subject matter experts. The panel of judges will review the video submissions and select winners based on originality, clarity, relevance and critical thinking. Sample video topics include but are not limited to: conflicts of interest, misguided loyalty, ethical diversity or accountability and transparency.
Category 1: Short Film (1-3 Minutes)
Category 2: Commercials (30-59 Seconds)
Video Submission Deadline: March 29, 2025
Viewer’s Choice Voting Period: April 7 – 14, 2025
Judge’s Choice Voting Period: March 30 – April 5, 2025
Winners Announced: April 21, 2025
Viewer’s Choice winners will be determined by the number of votes each video receives.
