Receipt of prizes is contingent on participation in the Big Data Combine in Miami on October 25, 2013.
You may still participate if you do not wish to attend, but will not be eligible for prizes.
The top 10 finishers who are interested in attending the Combine will receive a complimentary one-night stay at the prestigious Loews hotel in South Beach, plus a travel stipend of $500 to attend the Miami event.  This is intended to cover airfare and transportation to and from the airport.
In addition, the top 5 finishers will split a $10,000 prize pool:
1st - $5000
2nd - $3000
3rd - $1000
4th - $700
5th - $300
U.S. participants will then be eligible to license their strategy for a $1,000,000 investment account based on their predictive models. The agreement for the licensing deal will be mutually agreed between the Big Data Combine Winner and BattleFin.
