To celebrate its 10th anniversary, and the 10^th anniversary of International Right to Know Day, FOIAnet has adopted the 10-10-10 Statement: Achievements, Challenges and Goals on the 10th Anniversary of the Freedom of Information Advocates Network (FOIAnet). The Statement highlights the ten most impressive achievements of FOIAnet, and the wider community promoting the right to information globally, over the last ten years, the ten main challenges we still face, and our ten priority goals for the coming ten years.

When it was first launched ten years ago, none of the founding members could have imagined that FOIAnet would experience such success and growth during its first decade. Its membership has gone up tenfold, to some 200 organisational members, and 600 people on its discussion list. Access to information held by public bodies has been firmly recognised as an international human right, and the number of countries with RTI laws has more than doubled to 93.

FOIANET would like to congratulate the winners of the "I have a right to know!, organised to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the FOIA Network. Over 100 entries from all continents were received, depicting a wide range of situations and people from all over the world facing challenges or enjoying the benefits of accesing information.

FOIAnet would like to thank the members of the Jury for their time, and the generous support of the Open Society Institute for providing the cash prizes for the winners: 500 EUR for 1st place, 300 EUR for 2nd place and 200 EUR for the 3rd place.
