2022 YES Award Finalists
The Young ESOMAR Society (YES!) Award is a global competition designed to both engage young professionals (30 and under) and shine a spotlight on the valuable perspective a new generation of researchers is bringing to the table. Each year between five to ten finalists are selected to pitch their idea in 60 seconds to the ESOMAR Congress audience, where three winners (as voted by delegates) gain more stage time.
All finalists will receive a free registration to Congress 2022 in Toronto and a year-long YES Membership.
