Only airport applications are open, then voting, then comes the pilot booking (dates are not known yet), and no, you cannot submit an airport, only vACC staff can. However, I do know EBBR is applying, and so will probably EHAM and EGLL aswell.

Flying in Oceanic Airspace requires special procedures, which we ask all pilots to follow. If this is your
first event of this nature or you are lacking experience – we highly recommend taking some time to do
some self-study via one of the following resources:-

VATSIM UK Oceanic Procedures:
