🚀 Start Your Challenge¶
Once your technical setup is complete and your challenge pages contain all the necessary information for participants, you're ready to launch!
🔒 Hidden by Default¶
When first created, your challenge is hidden by default. This means:
- It will not appear on the public challenge overview page
- It can still be accessed via direct link
You can switch your challenge from hidden to public at any time once you're ready for wider visibility.
🗓️ Set Up Phases and Submissions¶
Make sure your phases are configured correctly:
- Set submission start and end dates
- Define submission limits
- Review your scoring setup and evaluation container if applicable
This ensures participants can submit to your challenge as planned.
💳 Final Steps Before Launch¶
- Prepaid invoice must be paid before your challenge can accept submissions
- Budget usage alerts are sent automatically at 70%, 90%, and 100% of your allocated budget
- To set custom alert levels, contact support@grand-challenge.org
