FAQs

How do I sign up?

Anyone with a DataCamp account can participate in our competitions. New to DataCamp? Create your free account here.

How do I compete in DataCamp competitions?

You will create a data analysis based on the dataset provided. You will submit your ready-to-share notebook publication for a review by fellow DataCamp learners and the judging panel in accordance with the evaluation metrics created for the competition.

How long does a competition run?

The detailed information on the competition timeline can be found on the competition’s homepage. Most DataCamp Competitions include two deadlines: a submission deadline (after which no new submissions will be accepted), and a voting deadline (after which no new votes be counted towards final evaluation). It is very, very important to keep these deadlines in mind.

What makes a winning solution?

The winners will be selected based on the judging criteria provided in the description of each competition.

How will I get my prize? Are there any conditions?

We will contact each winner separately to agree on the best way to deliver the prize. The winners are responsible for any fees or taxes liable in your home country upon receiving the funds. Any relevant conditions will be stated in the Competition Rules and Terms of Use.

Are teams allowed?

Not yet, but we are exploring this opportunity for future competitions.
