How listings are checked

Before a competition appears on AIContestList, we check its listing against the organizer’s official page for deadline, eligibility, and prize details. Listings are rechecked periodically, and each contest page shows the date it was last verified.

Always confirm entry requirements and any fees directly with the official organizer before submitting personal information or payment.
