After the application deadline a committee consisting of the Pink Summits team as well as representatives of Osprey will select finalists who will be invited to an interview online. The winner will be announced after those final interviews. Some of the selection criteria that will guide us to choose a winner:

• Your story of being vocal for visibility and rights of LGBTIQ+ communities
• Your previous experience and background in adventure & outdoor sports
• Long-term plans to stay in the Pink Summits team and to be involved in its events and activities

We will inform the finalists & winners per email. They will be announced as a new team member after they accept the scholarship through all our social media channels and on our website.

After a winner was selected and informed about the committee’s positive decision, they have four calendar weeks to reply and accept scholarship. After that date if the initial winner does not reply or rejects the scholarship, the next person from the finalists will be selected as a winner and informed per email.

Since you will join the core team of Pink Summits, you need to

• be active part of our team: co-organize some of our future events depeding on your availability or organize your own
• provide relevant content (photos, videos and texts) about your outdoor adventures that will be posted in our blogs and social media channels
• support visibility of both Pink Summits and Osprey

The processing of the required personal data serves exclusively to select a winner of the scholarship. The data will be only accessible to Pink Summits and Osprey teams and will not be passed on to third parties. All non-public data of the non-finalists will be stored for a period of 30 days after the closing date and then deleted. Personal data of the finalists will be kept for a period of 5 years from the application deadline and then deleted.
