I am here to clarify a doubt regarding the eligibility criteria. Actually, I am a Kaggle Competition Master (Mohammed | Master | Kaggle) who won 2 competitions and 6 medals in Competition. Since Kaggle allow me if my parents submit a parental consent form and i can compete without any issues I am interested in participating in your competition too. But the thing is that I am below 18 and I am not sure that I could compete or not. My parents allow me to do so. But I need a final clarification from the organizer’s side. expecting for fast reply and clarification.
Hi @mohri - Thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately you are not eligible to participate in this challenge. See the rules copied below. It’s great to see what you’ve done so far.
The Competition is open to all natural persons who, at the date of entry, are a legal resident of a country, state, province or territory within the Territory and at least eighteen years of age and the age of majority in their jurisdiction of residence. Legal entities and organizations are not eligible for entry. There is no purchase or donation necessary to enter the Competition. All potential winners must successfully pass a sanctions screening by Competition Entities to be eligible to receive any prize in this Competition.
Hi @separate - This just means participants must be individuals (natural persons). For instance, employees might participate, but they are doing so as individuals and not as the company. You may also want to check the paragraph under Registration that addresses employer policies, copied below.
