You can upload up to 20 files for categories 1, 2 and 4 and up to 50 files for category 3 (2MB max. per file).

The documents must be PDF or JPG. No other file formats are supported.

Consider renaming your document in case of an error message: use only one dot (.) before the file extension (pdf, jpg) and avoid special characters (_-/ etc.) or blank spaces in the file name.

  In order to create your Account, simply click on the link "Create your EPSO Account" and fill in all the required information.

  Your personal details and the access details to your EPSO account must always be updated.

  If, at any stage in the procedure, EPSO finds that you have created more than one Account, you may be excluded (see the General Rules governing Open Competitions attached to the Notice of Competition).
