There were 10000 Euros of prizes and travel grants generously donated by Orange, which were distributed among the cup winners. Only participants having complied with the rules of the challenge and having submitted themselves to eventual post-challenge verifications, as required by the organizers, were eligible for prizes, or travel awards.

Fast challenge:

Slow challenge:

The travel awards had to be used by the awardees to attend the KDD workshop and were granted upon delivery of receipts of travel expenses. Prizes and travel awards could not be cumulated. So if you were among the two first in the fast track, you were eliminated from the slow track ranking (note that the first in slow track wins no more the second in the fast track so it is not unfair to be eliminated from the slow track ranking). If you won a prize or travel award in the slow tack and are third in the fast track, you could not cumulate the travel awards. Any non-attributable or unclaimed travel award or prize was redistributed as travel grant to other deserving participants.
