Additionally, every team coach may select the option for 400 EUR including accommodation or 100 EUR excluding accommodation. Travel expenses are not included in the participation fee.

Each member of the winning team will be awarded with a one-month traineeship at the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg. The Best Overall Orator will be awarded with a traineeship at the Council of Europe Liaison Office with the European Union in Brussels.
For those who will win the Council of Europe prize and the prize for the Best Overall Orator, ELSA will cover up to 400 EUR of the accommodation costs per person.
