What they ask for

Get ready to apply

Built only from what this listing states.

The application takes real work, by our reading.

1. What to get ready

The listing does not say what it needs. When you open their page, write down everything it asks for before you start.

2. Dates

  • No closing date is stated.
  • Openings with no closing date can close once they have enough people, so sooner is safer. Our advice

Download checklist (.txt) Send to WhatsApp

The download is a small text file. You can read it later without data. It also lists each condition they set, so you can tick yourself against them. WhatsApp sends the same list to you, or to somebody helping you.

No CV yet? Make a plain one from your answers. Nothing you type is kept.

Tips for applying for a competition

General advice from us, the same for every competition. It is not what this organisation says; that is above.

  • Read the rules and the judging criteria first, and write to them.
  • Check who owns your work after you enter. The rules usually say.
  • Submit a day early. Upload pages are often slow near a deadline.

If there is an interview or a test

  • If there is a final or a pitch, practise out loud and time yourself.

All our tips and messages to copy. Practise answering, with nothing kept. Received an offer? Check whether it is real, then read before you say yes.

How to apply

You apply on GSMA's own website, not here. We never send an application for anybody and we never ask you for anything to pass on. Check their page for anything not shown here.
