What are award levels?
Early on in our program, we chose only one winner in each contest. This was clean and easy, but only allowed one winner to be promoted and showcased. In today's market, with so many great AI Solutions, we felt this was unfair to the development community.
We changed to a business model now where we choose a Silver, Gold and Platinum winner for every award contest. This allows 3 of the best apps to be declared a winner. We only offer Silver and Platinum submissions for those looking to submit their AI Solutions, and we fill in the Gold winner from either of the other two tiers depending on our judges determination. This means any Silver or Platinum submission, if not picked as a winner in that level, is still eligible to win the Gold.
Some FAQs:
