Question about Prize for PUMA Challenge

Hello PUMA Challenge Organizers,

I've reviewed the information about the "Panoptic Segmentation of nUclei and tissue in advanced MelanomA (PUMA)" challenge, but I couldn’t find any details about a prize or reward for the winners. Could you please clarify if there is any prize for the top teams, and if so, what the specifics are?

Thank you very much for your time and response!

Best regards,

Hello khangnh,

Thank you for your interest in the PUMA Challenge. To clarify, top-performing teams will be invited to co-author the final publication resulting from this work. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer a financial prize. However, the models developed in this challenge will be used in our further research in melanoma histopathology. By contributing to this project, your work will support efforts to improve patient care by refining treatment selection to identify who may benefit from treatment.

Best regards, The PUMA Challenge Organizers
