The first step for objections to the announced rankings is to apply to the Sosyalfest 2025 Appeals Committee. Applicants may submit their objections via email in the form of a petition to sosyalfest@karabuk.edu.tr within the announced dates. The Sosyalfest Appeals Committee consists of five independent members who have not served on either the preliminary or final evaluation juries. If the appeal is rejected by the Sosyalfest Appeals Committee, the applicant may, upon request and within a later specified time frame, submit their objection to the Sosyalfest Upper Appeals Committee, again via email in the form of a petition to sosyalfest@karabuk.edu.tr. The Sosyalfest Upper Appeals Committee also consists of five independent members who have not served on the preliminary or final evaluation juries. The decisions and results issued by the Upper Appeals Committee are final and binding.
