Update 15 May 2026: this issue is now solved and applications can be saved without any data loss.

A technical issue is affecting the validation of application. It appears that in some cases the application’s content is removed when the application is submitted. 

Our IT team is actively working to resolve this issue.

In the meantime, we kindly ask you to verify that your submitted application is fully complete. If content is missing, please follow these steps to submit a complete application:

1.    Log in to the Single Candidate Portal 
2.    Click on My Account > My Applications (located in the upper-left corner of the screen).
3.    From the list under "My Submitted Applications", locate your competition application
4.    Click the Modify button (pencil icon) next to it
5.    Re-enter all required fields (Eligibility, Registration Data, Motivation and Strengths, and Declaration) in one session
6.    Progress through each step by clicking Next (do not use the "Save as Draft" option).
7.    Do not use the "Save as draft" button at any point.
8.    Once all sections are complete, click the blue "Submit" button to validate your application.
9.    Should you encounter any further difficulties, please do not hesitate to contact us via the Single Candidate Portal.

We will keep candidates informed on their competition’s web page as soon as the issue is solved.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused by the technical issue and thank you for your patience and understanding.
