The success of the series motivated us to continue with the third edition of the Contest, starting on 4th August 2020. Although you will have time to submit your scripts until 31st October 2020, we would like to encourage you to make an early bird submission before 20th September.

Together with our partners, the Copernicus EU Earth Observation programme, the European Space Agency and AI4EO consortium we are looking for new and innovative ideas and scripts. Therefore, we have organized a series of the Sentinel Hub Custom Script Contests starting with the first one in Spring 2019 and following with the second one in Winter 2019/2020. In April and May we have organized a special edition of the Contest - the Covid-19 Custom Script Contest. It was aiming to help the world facing huge challenges getting back to 'normal' after the coronavirus Covid-19 pandemic.

The third round of the Contest is introducing a new optional challenge, with dedicated prizes. To qualify for it, besides the already known requirements, your script will have to be based on a machine learning workflow developed using eo-learn - a collection of open source Python packages to seamlessly access and automate the processing of spatio-temporal image sequences acquired by any satellite fleet. You can find an example of such script here. Ideally participants would contribute to the code-base during the contest.

How and Where to Start?
