Don't see something that motivates you on this list? We're flexible -- if you win, pitch us with a (comparably priced) prize suggestion, and we'll try our best to make it happen!
NOTE: sometimes international logistics can complicate prizes and their delivery. For all prizes, if logistics get in the way, we reserve the right to ask you to buy the prize locally, and we'll reimburse up to the equivalent USD value.
Scholarships
The 2009 RL Competition is pleased to announce the availability of a limited number of travel scholarships, which can help defray the cost of attending the competition workshop (held in conjunction with ICML 2009).
Scholarships will be awarded based on need. Applicants do not need to have won an event to qualify for a scholarship, but they are reserved for participants who have competed in a good faith effort. See the Call for Scholarship Applications for information on how to apply.
