| Recent studies as well as our own experience from previous editions show that in ethical issues not only reason but also feelings, sentiments and emotions matter. Our capacity to express those requires other – often deeper – quasi-native linguistic competencies and greater finesse than the current technical language used in our professional life. Thus, in order to allow as many candidates as possible to participate, we have developed “linguistic chapters” of the Global Prize in collaboration with partners sharing the same commitment to ethics in finance. Each of these chapters is largely autonomous. It collects essays in the given language, has its own Jury and has its own series of awards and a ceremony. The winning papers from the linguistic chapters will be translated in English and will enter an advanced stage of the Global competition. Candidates who submit a paper to one of the linguistic chapters of the Prize, are not allowed to submit, simultaneously, the same paper, translated into English, to the Global Prize.
