Final Call: Less Than a Month Left To Win From $2,500 in the AI Writing Contest

Greetings, Hackers!

The AI writing contest, sponsored by Bright Data, is now in its final stretch! The contest’s launch in September was a call to writers of all backgrounds to discuss one of the hottest topics in tech—AI—and more importantly, the data that powers it—for a chance to win cash prizes to the tune of $2500. Since then, AI stories on HackerNoon have generated more than 150,000 page views, keeping readers glued to their screens for over 10 days, according to reading time data.

Still, the conversation around data collection for AI and LLM training is gaining momentum, and we want to hear from YOU!

Before the deadline, interested participants are encouraged to:

1. Take advantage of Bright Data’s $15 credit to explore its  Dataset Marketplace and Web Data for AI.

2. Submit your contest entry using any of the following HackerNoon writing templates:

   • Using Bright Data for AI and LLM Training
   • The Future of Data Collection for AI and LLMs
   • Web Scraping for AI and LLM Training Data
