<H3><SPAN>What is the Politeia Blockchain Challenge?</SPAN></H3>
<P><SPAN>Decred’s Politeia, (governance proposal system) has a vast amount of potential uses. As such, Decred can only reasonably explore a few of them on their own.</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN>The Politeia Blockchain Challenge is a competition designed to discover alternate uses for the Politeia codebase. Competitors will use Politeia source code to create innovative and functional use cases and then demonstrate how they work. Decred will choose the best of these on Saturday, February 10th at the Hyatt Regency Austin. The event starts at 8pm, ends at 12am, and is free to attend.</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN>Competitors are encouraged to work in teams but may work independently. National competitors will be able to demonstrate their projects remotely through video conferencing. All competition submissions must be completed by January 26th, 2018. </SPAN></P>
<H3><SPAN>Prizes will be awarded for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place.  </SPAN></H3>
<P><SPAN>1st Place - $10,000</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN>2nd Place - $5,000</SPAN></P>
