About Prize Eligibility
Platform · 31 Dec 2025, 08:00 · 2
Hi everyone, I hope you're enjoying the challenge.
@Joel, @meganomaly I have a question concerning Prize Eligibility.
Is a team with the following composition prize eligible : 50% student and 50% professional ?
Kindly
Hi @marching_learning. Thanks for the query. It would depend on how much experience the professional team member has. Have you had a look at the rules section? There it gives all criteria for the challenge - "the Challenge is only open to individuals or teams of a maximum of three people who are either: (a) university students with less than five years of professional experience or (b) early career professionals with less than five years of professional experience and who are not employed by an EY Firm." See more here. Happy coding!
Thank you @meganomaly . I've seen the rules but I asked the question because sometimes on Kaggle they looked if more than 50% of team is team students.
In the case of our team @ML_Wizzard is a student and myself (@marching_learning) is a 6 years professional. Maybe EY, will decide if we fortunately finish in the top 3.
