Got a pleasant visit from Red Bull giving us the wings needed before the Norwegian AI Championship kicks off… …In less than a week. Initially, we though 250 spots were enough for our main kickoff event at Mesh Oslo.

Questions
Who can take part?
Anyone who wants to build with AI. Full rules come before the regional championships.
Do I need a team?
No. Compete alone or with up to two others. You can add teammates later.
Does it cost anything?
No, it's free.
Do I have to travel?
No. You can compete in your regional championship online.
Do I have to qualify for the final?
No. Everyone can compete in the final online. Only the 100 places on site in Oslo need qualifying. The best teams in each regional championship win them, most on the night and a few after the tour.
Can I compete in more than one region?
Only one regional championship counts for your team.
I competed in 2026. Does that count?
No. 2027 is a new competition, so sign up again. We'll recognise you.
