Student awards

Passionately committed to supporting the pivotal role of young talents in imagining and designing future Mediterranean cities that are sustainable, healthy, resilient, inclusive and liveable, the 8th edition of the Med Green Forum re-launches the Student Awards.

This open call invites young designers and emerging professionals/researchers to submit their most remarkable and outstanding works that address the mission,  sessions and topics of MGF8 on the renewable energy of nature. 

The MGF Student Awards are open to young graduates who discussed a thesis (bachelor’s, master’s, professional master’s or PhD’s) within the last 2 years.
Groups, as well as individual entries, are welcome.
The official language of the competition is English.

Accepted posters will be exhibited throughout the three-day MGF in a dedicated area of the venue, and will be presented by authors during special poster sessions.

The prizes will be awarded during the closing session of the Forum.
