participants need to be 18 in order to participate if i live in x am i eligible to participate for eligibility rules see our official challenge rules submission can my submission include open source code riffing on open source code and borrowing and improving on previous work ideas is encouraged but it s important your changes are significant enough to ensure your submission is valid what happens if my submission is considered plagiarized or invalid anything deemed to be plagiarism will not be eligible for prizes incidental plagiarism may simply result in your disqualification from the challenge regardless of the number of other valid submissions you have published egregious plagiarism will result in your suspension from dev entirely any non generic non trivial usage of prior work including open source code must be credited in your submission do submissions have to be in english non english submissions are eligible for a completion badge but not eligible for prizes due to the current limitations of our judges we will not be judging on mastery of the english language so please don t let this deter you from submitting if you are not a native english speaker we hope to evolve this in the future to be more accommodating can i use ai use of ai is allowed as long as all other rules are followed we want to give you a chance to show off your skills in realistic scenarios if you use ai tools to help you achieve your submission all the power to you judging and prizing can there be ties in the event of a tie in scoring between judges the judges will select the entry that
