How are prizes awarded

The Top 5 winners will receive the amount of dollars in IOTA Tokens according to their position in the podium (see bellow) within one week after the winners announcement. Contestants will have to provide the organizers with an IOTA Address in order to receive the prize. Those that do not send a receiver address within 5 days after the winners announcement will lose all rights to claim their prize in IOTA. The amount of IOTA tokens sent to each of the 5 winners will be calculated according to the market price for December 8th, 2020. Bitfinex prize will be used as reference.

All the IoT Devices included on the prize will be shipped to the participants postal address provided on the registration form. The Hackathon organizers are not responsible for issues that may occur with shipping to countries with blocks/barriers that do not allow the products to arrive (i.e. Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Syria, etc.).

Access to the 5 IOT ONE Academy IOTA Developers Courses will be granted to the winners within the 30 days following the winners announcement. Contestants will have up to 3 months to log in to the IOT ONE Academy platform and start the courses. Participants that do not log in to the IOT ONE Academy platform within 90 days after the access is granted will lose their access together with any rights to place claims against this contest organizers or IOT ONE Academy
