Prizes

im not sure what the $600 prize pool is. also, what is the $80 bonus? can you please explain what that means, is it cash or an advertising budget, etc? thanks.

Here is an explanation:

$600 Prize Pool:

The $600 prize pool refers to the total amount of cash prizes distributed across all winners in the jam. Here’s how it’s likely allocated:

  • Top 3 Winners: Each receives an $80 bonus (3 x $80 = $240).
  • 4th to 10th Place: Each receives a $50 bonus (7 x $50 = $350).

This adds up to $590, with the remainder ($10) possibly reserved for administrative purposes or small rounding adjustments.

$80 Bonus:

The $80 bonus is a cash reward for the top 3 winners. It’s not an advertising budget or credit—it’s real money, likely paid via a digital payment method (e.g., PayPal or bank transfer). This bonus serves as a direct incentive and a recognition of the effort and creativity of the winning participants.
