MISSION
CHENGDU 80 not only provides students with opportunities to engage with leading financial technology scholars and government officials but also enhances their problem-solving and programming skills, showcasing teamwork spirit. It serves as a platform for both academia and industry to encourage and attract public attention towards the next generation of financial technology talents striving for excellence.
INTRODUCTION
CHENGDU 80 is a competition for university students to design their financial instruments prototypes using open-source technologies. Teams must create usable prototypes addressing predefined problems within 80 hours and present them to the judging panel during the showcase.
ORGANIZERS
CHENGDU 80 is organized by Southwestern University of Finance and Economics(SWUFE) and Chengdu Jiaozi Financial Holding Group. The organizers set policies and general rules, holding sole responsibility for interpreting rules and ruling on unforeseen circumstances.
TEAM COMPOSITION
Each participating team should consist of up to 6 student contestants from a single academic institution, led by a teacher or postdoctoral scholar as an advisor. The team must include both male and female members, graduate students, and at least one undergraduate student. There are no technical requirements for team members. Team mentors can contribute ideas but are prohibited from participating in the actual development process during the competition. The mentor must verify the eligibility of the contestants and serve as the official contact person for the team before and during the competition.
ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
Eligible students must be registered and qualified students (full-time, part-time, cooperative, exchange, intern, or off-campus) at the participating institutions and willing and able to participate in Fintech 80 competition. Each student can only represent one team in the competition each year.
AWARDS
The competition offers three types of awards, which will be presented to teams by the judging panel based on the demonstration criteria. The INNOVATOR AWARD will be given to five teams, each receiving RMB 5,000. The PIONEER AWARD will be awarded to two teams, with RMB 30,000 each, and the TRAILBLAZER AWARD to one team, offering RMB 40,000.
COMPETITION PROCESS
The competition requires teams to develop a project within 80 hours, utilizing servers and computing terminals provided by the cloud platform, based on the given theme. Upon completion, teams must submit their project deliverables along with a presentation PPT within the stipulated timeframe. All teams are mandated to work independently throughout the competition.
At the end of the development phase, prototypes and presentation slides of all teams will be loaded onto a common computer designated for the presentation session. Participants must upload their competition outcomes, including PPTs and project source code, to the Amazon Competition Platform within the prescribed competition hours.
During the demonstration round, each team will have 15 minutes, following a randomly determined order, to present their project live. A panel of judges comprising experts from academia and industry will evaluate the projects based on coding, functionality, and innovation, ultimately announcing the winners. Further competition details and system configurations will be shared with participating teams.
SUBMISSIONS
All submissions must be exclusively completed by participating teams, without any assistance from third parties. The submissions must possess practical value and be free from computer viruses. Upon submission, teams retain full intellectual property rights, ensuring adherence to all relevant laws and regulations, and absence of any rights infringement.Upon discovery of any violations, immediate disqualification and accountability for corresponding responsibilities will ensue.
COMPETITION SCORING
During the demonstration phase, a panel of judges will evaluate all team projects against criteria encompassing presentation quality, functionality, system architecture, user experience, design, and analytical prowess. The judges will assign scores to submitted prototypes and determine the competition winners. They hold the authority to adjudicate unforeseen events and their decisions are conclusive.
DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT
Participating teams are mandated to submit their competition outcomes, comprising PPT presentations and project source code, onto the Amazon competition platform within the prescribed timeframe, ensuring both are uploaded prior to the expiration of the designated project development period. Teams are encouraged to allocate ample time beforehand for file uploads, adhering to the detailed schedule. In case of any unforeseen submission-related issues, teams must promptly communicate with the competition organizers.
OWNERSHIP OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
The organizers hereby disclaim any rights to the intellectual property developed by participants during the competition. The allocation of intellectual property rights among team members and their affiliated institutions shall adhere to the respective policies of those institutions.
