You can submit proposals for nominations to the POP Science Award 2026, organised as part of the Silesian Science Festival Katowice, until 8 May. The awards are granted in an open competition to persons and projects that promote science communication. Anyone can submit nominations in five categories (by submitting themselves or others):
● Video Blog,
● Blog or Website,
● Radio Broadcast or Podcast,
● Think globally, act locally – Silesian Voivodeship,
● Think globally, act locally – Silesian Voivodship (universities).
Two regional categories award people who promote knowledge using different communication channels and are a university representative or act without such an affiliation (e.g. in a school, an NGO).
The nominees will be selected from among the entries by a jury appointed by the organiser of the Silesian Science Festival Katowice – mainly the previous winners and nominees of this Award. The winners will be announced as a result of a public and jury vote scheduled for autumn 2026. The POP Science award will be presented for the seventh time during the ŚFN.
