The following two categories of BigQuery ML (BQML) GCP Coupon Awards will be distributed to eligible participants.

**BigQuery ML Models built in SQL**: Use BQML to create a model and make predictions
* 1st Place - $3,000 in GCP Credits
* 2nd Place - $1,000 in GCP Credits
* 3rd Place - $1,000 in GCP Credits

**BigQuery ML Models built in TensorFlow**: Build model in TensorFlow, and make predictions in BQML through model import
* 1st Place - $3,000 in GCP Credits
* 2nd Place - $1,000 in GCP Credits
* 3rd Place - $1,000 in GCP Credits

###Eligibility

To be eligible for the awards described above, a team's selected submission must meet the following requirements:
- Use BQML to create your model and generate your submission's predictions, per the requirements above for each category of prizes. 
     - Take a look at documentation on the [model types supported by BQML here](https://cloud.google.com/bigquery-ml/docs/reference/standard-sql/bigqueryml-syntax-create#model_type). 
     - Also, review information on [supported TensorFlow models here](https://cloud.google.com/bigquery-ml/docs/reference/standard-sql/bigqueryml-syntax-create-tensorflow) and [how to make predictions with TensorFlow models here](https://cloud.google.com/bigquery-ml/docs/making-predictions-with-imported-tensorflow-models). 
     - [This tutorial](https://www.kaggle.com/sirtorry/bigquery-ml-template-intersection-congestion/) also provides a nice starter for how to run queries using BQML.
- If you feel you have met these requirements of either special award group, you must self-nominate by submitting a form to be released at the end of the competition. Eligible participants will then be awarded prizes on the basis of their leaderboard performance.
     - You will be required to provide documentation of your queries/models as a condition of receiving the award. 
     - Each team may only win an award in one (not both) of the above categories.
