Add Prize Money to Challenges

[gchhablani]

Description

Currently it is difficult to find know which challenges have prizes, and if yes, what are the first/second/thrid prizes, etc. This feature will help us understand which challenges on EvalAI have prizes. The idea is to add a new prize money section here:

There are several components to be designed here:

1. The idea is to create a new model ChallengePrizes with the following details:

- challenge_pk
- amount
- rank

2. The challenge prizes will be a new section in the challenge configuration. Example:

prizes:
- rank: 1
   amount: "1000USD"
- rank: 2
   amount: "500USD"

3. This will also require you to add changes to the challenge validation script to ensure people put appropriate values for prizes.
4. Add a new attribute has_prizes in the Challenge model.
5. You will also need to modify the create_or_update_github_challenge function to update the challenge and the entries.
6. Display the prizes for the challenge if the challenge has prizes. This will require you to modify the frontend.

Pre-requisites/Learnings

This issue essentially requires background on a few things:

• An understanding of the challenge configuration.
• A deep understanding of EvalAI challenges.
• An understanding of our frontend.
• How the challenge validation works.
• How GitHub Challenge Creation works.

How to Approach

• You can start by setting up EvalAI locally. Set up the dev version locally (preferred) using the steps here.
• Add the new models, the new attribute to the backend.
• Update the challenge configuration, the validation and the create/update method to handle this.
• Play around with the the frontend, and create a PR. Please add screenshots of the changes.
• Reach out to us regarding any issues that you face or if you need any help with understanding any of the above.

@gchhablani What's difference between 'prize_amount' and 'amount' in model?

@b9aurav My bad, they are the same thing.
