Sign in · Cycle 2026

Pick up where
you left off.

Use the same email you registered with. If you’re here for the first time, start a fresh application instead.

First time here?

Begin a new application.

You don’t need to know your full team yet — one person can start the application and invite teammates later. Read the eligibility rules first; the application form will check for them.

Applications close 22 May 2026 at 23:59 British Summer Time. The form auto-saves; you can close it and come back.

What the portal is for

Applications, feedback, team names — not issuing certificates.

Sign in to start or continue a 2026 application, invite teammates, upload the 90-second video, request a fee waiver, and — if shortlisted — receive clinic links and written critiques. Mentors and jurors have a separate desk behind the same hostname. Certificate verification is public and does not require an account: use /cert/verify.html. Staff issuing is not available from this page.

If you cannot get in, check that the corresponding member’s email is the one you are typing, then write to inquiry@gqc.org. Do not create a second team to bypass a lock; we will merge or void duplicates.
