The Docflix GmbH has officially opened submissions for the Doctorflix Rising Speaker Award 2026, offering licensed medical professionals a platform to present their dermatological research at the upcoming Derm Alpin congress in Salzburg, Austria. Applications remain open through August 16, 2026, according to the official event terms published by Doctorflix.
Organized in cooperation with the Con Derm Verwaltungs- und Geschäftsbesorgungs GmbH, the competition targets licensed doctors seeking to showcase their expertise to an international audience of specialists. The primary event takes place during the Derm Alpin Congress scheduled for October 16 through 18, 2026, at the Salzburg Congress center. Eligible candidates must hold a valid medical license and submit work that addresses a distinct dermatological topic.
Application Requirements and Deadlines
To enter the competition, applicants must complete the online submission form hosted on the official Doctorflix Rising Speaker Award portal. Each submission requires two core components: a detailed scientific abstract outlining the proposed presentation and a video pitch lasting between three and ten minutes that highlights the core subject and its clinical relevance.
The strict submission deadline is August 16, 2026. Organizers have specified that late entries will not be considered under any circumstances. By submitting an application, candidates agree to the governing terms outlined in the Doctorflix Terms and Conditions for Speakers, which regulate participation standards if a candidate is selected for the award.
Selection Process and Jury Evaluation
An independent committee comprising representatives from both Doctorflix and Derm Alpin reviews all applications received prior to the August deadline. The jury evaluates the scientific merit and presentation style of each abstract and video pitch before selecting three finalists.
These three chosen speakers receive an invitation to travel to Salzburg and deliver their lectures live in front of the congress audience. According to the competition guidelines, the jury’s final selection is definitive, unappealable, and excludes any recourse to legal action.
Incentives, Prizes, and Kongress Details
All medical professionals who submit a complete application by the August deadline receive a complimentary ticket to attend the Derm Alpin 2026 congress, valued at €186.00 and provided through the congress platform. The three finalists earn an additional invitation to the exclusive Derm Alpin evening reception scheduled for Saturday, October 17, 2026, at the historic Pitterkeller in Salzburg, valued at €96.00.
The ultimate winner of the Doctorflix Rising Speaker Award will be chosen during the live presentations at the congress. The winning package includes a professional studio recording session in Berlin, official continuing medical education (CME) certification for the produced content, and prominent promotion across the digital Doctorflix network.
