Frequently asked questions

Until what date can I apply to the Nova 111 List 2026?

The application deadline is December 14, 2025.

To which vertical should I apply to?

For professionals: Apply according to the industry in which you are currently working, not your role.
Example: If you are a Real Estate Manager at H&M, you should apply to FMCG, Retail & E-commerce, not Investments & Real Estate.

For students: Apply according to your field of study. Example: If you are studying Mechanical Engineering, you should apply to Industrial Engineering.

But if you're unsure, don't worry! Choose the vertical that seems the best fit for you, and the Nova team will review it to make sure you're placed in the correct one.

I am already a Nova 111 winner. Can I apply again?

No! You can only be a winner of the Nova 111 List once.

I was already a finalist from last year's editions and did not win. Can I apply again?
