Organising the contest not only generates variable costs linked to the number of participants in the school, but also a large number of fixed costs, such as :

  • the printing and dispatch of documentation,
  • Development of the contest, database management and web hosting
  • preparing the prize pack, publishing the results list, etc.

All these fixed costs, independent of the number of students taking part, mean that we have to impose a minimum number of registerants for a school if we want to balance the budget.

However, it is possible to enter the competition with fewer than 35 students.

Please note that there is no minimum number of students for The Big Challenge PLAY+.
