When you start crawling prizes, you can fill in the input form. All fields are optional:

Beyond Business

I teach programming to students.

For young people before entering the workforce, winning coding prizes offers both financial support and a boost to their self-confidence. However, information about international coding prizes is often limited to specific channels and doesn't reach those who need it most.

For example, my students in Japan rarely have access to this information—a gap that exists in many countries and communities worldwide.

I created the Coding Prize Crawler to democratize access to these opportunities, including student-only prizes. I hope this tool empowers students and educators everywhere to discover and pursue coding contests they might never have known about.
