Hello, how about Philippines? Are we eligible?
Hi @charleneannec - unfortunately we are not able to offer the contest everywhere due to specific country legal requirements.
We will be providing more learning pathways and look to offer more to our developer community globally in the future :)
Thank you for your interest!
