The five successful applicants will each receive one free registration for the main programme of ESGO 2027 (not including workshops), a ticket to the ESGO networking event on February 27, and a certificate of participation.
They will be given training on how to best cover a live event on social media and will be recognised publicly online for their contributions before and throughout the event.

The final selection will be made by members of the Communication Committee and the social media team of ESGO 2026.

- Post under their real name
- Allow ESGO to share and promote their posts from the society’s social media channels
