PINK SUMMITS SCHOLARSHIP

We will cover the following costs for the scholarship winner:

• travel costs to/from/within the rock-climbing destination (e.g. Arco, Italy)
• acommodation costs, including all meals, during the rock-climbing trip
• group equipment
• Osprey pack of your choice

Anyone can apply who

• has some experience in rock climbing (top-rope as the minimum).
• is 18 years of age or older
• fully supports the Pink Summits mission: to promote queer visibility through outdoor sports

We welcome applications from LBTQ+ women, people with disabilities, refugees and migrants, Black, Indigenous and/or People of Color (BIPOC), and anyone who is not able to join our events due to financial constraints.

Pink Summits Scholarship is open for applications until the midnight of September 15th, 2023 (Central European Time). Please, follow our newsletter in order to keep yourself updated about the new opportunities next year!

We just need your answer to this question:

Why do you want to join the Pink Summits team?

You need to email us a reply as a video, a picture or a text: [email protected]. Your video should not exceed 5 minutes or your text should be less than 500 words.

Alternatively, you can also post on your social media (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube) and tag @pinksummits #PinkSummits @ospreyeurope #OspreyCommunity.

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 LGBTQ+ communities
• Your previous experience and background in outdoor or adventure sports
• Long-term plans to stay in the Pink Summits team and to be involved in its events and activities

After a winner was selected and informed about the committee’s positive decision, they have two 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 3 years from the application deadline and then deleted.

By applying to Pink Summits Scholarship you agree to possible sharing of your application texts, photos and videos by Osprey and Pink Summits through their channels, including social media, newsletters and websites.

Cash payment of the Pink Summits Scholarship is not possible. The scholarship will be paid to the winner through his trip being organised and booked by the Pink Summits team.

We reserve the right to exclude participants and finalists due to incorrect information or manipulation during their application process.

If you share a photo or video during your application, you assure that you are authorized to upload that photo or video in terms of the copyright and consent of people who are present in your shared photo or video.
