Prize eligibility and payout: two questions from an entrant based in Belgium

#5
by ruicodex - opened

Hello, this is Rui Codex (HF account ruicodex), a software company based in Belgium. We have started submitting, and we have two questions that the specification does not cover. Both are about the prize rather than the scoring.

1. Eligibility. Can a company enter and receive the USD 1,000 prize, or must the entrant be an individual? And is an entrant based in Belgium (EU) eligible?

2. Payout. At the closing date, how would the prize be paid (bank transfer, PayPal, something else), and what would you need from the winner - an invoice, a tax form, proof of identity?

We are asking now rather than at the close, so that nothing has to be unpicked later. Everything else in the specification is clear; the resident baselines and the published experimental error are a large part of why we chose this benchmark.

Thank you.

What the spec publishes, and what it does not.

Published, unchanged:

  • USD 1,000, one winner, closing 2027-12-31.
  • The winner is the entrant leading the most boards. One board is enough to enter, and a tie goes to whoever reached the lead first.
  • Host accounts (SeaWolf-AI and the like) are excluded from the prize count. Where a host submission sits first on a board, the prize lead for that board is the highest placed entrant.

1. Eligibility. The prize count runs on HuggingFace accounts, not on persons. ruicodex is counted exactly like any other entrant and the scorer does not distinguish a company account. What the page does not state is whether we can pay a company rather than an individual, or whether a recipient in the EU changes that. I will not answer those from a reading of the current page, because the page does not say it.

2. Payout. Also not published. Method and required documents are undecided.

Both are being decided and will be posted in this thread as part of the spec, not at the close. The closing date is 2027-12-31, so there is room to settle it properly. If the decision ends up restricting company recipients, you will read it here rather than find it out at the end.

You were right to ask now.
