A total of $100,000 worth prizes are set for 2019. The winner will get $30,000 worth BTM token, the native cryptocurrency of the Bytom blockchain. The two second and three third prize winners will get $10,000 and $5,000 worth BTM tokens each. Bytom will also give $3,000 worth BTM tokens to 10 participants as a recognition award. The preliminary rounds will take place between 3 to 7 August, while the finals will be held on 24th and the 25th.

Bytom has laid down a few important rules which every participant group/individual needs to follow to avoid any difficulty. Few important points from the guidelines are:
