The Data Science Blogathon Returns with a Bang!
"Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing." - Benjamin Franklin
Both the blogathons that we have conducted so far have received tremendous support from the community! We received 100+ articles from our community members who put pen to paper like never before, explaining their thoughts on data science and machine learning in an exquisite and easy to understand manner.
We are delighted to announce the launch of Analytics Vidhya’s third Data Science Blogathon, the ultimate competition which combines your writing prowess with your machine learning skills!
The best way to learn any concept, especially in data science, is by writing about it. That not only helps you understand what you learned in more detail, but sharing it with the community helps others understand how a particular data science idea works.
Analytics Vidhya has always been at the forefront of knowledge sharing, and we want to continue this trend among our community members.
We will not only publish the best articles on Analytics Vidhya’s blog but also, provide feedback to every writer on their article. Along with recognition in front of a broad audience, there are lucrative prizes to be won!
You can write on a wide range of topics including, but not limited to:
- Machine Learning and Data Science
- Data Engineering
- Business Intelligence
- Deep Learning
- Data Science in the industry
- Careers in ML and DS
- Statistics
- Python/R/SAS programming
And many more!
How do I Participate?
To enter the competition, just press the register button above. Once the competition starts on November 20th midnight, head over to https://editor.
This time, the leaderboard will reflect one article per author. If you want to submit 2 or more articles, those will count as separate entries.
What are the Prizes on offer?
Every article that meets Analytics Vidhya’s standards will be published on the Analytics Vidhya blog. This offers you a one-of-a-kind opportunity to reach out to a HUGE audience and embellish your data science profile and your own brand.
There are lucrative prizes on offer as well!
The top 3 winners will be judged based on the number of unique pageviews on their articles.
1st Prize: INR 10,000
2nd Prize: INR 5,000

Participants benefit from one-on-one feedback, publication on a respected platform, recognition from a global audience, and monetary rewards for each published article. Additionally, the top articles receive special rewards.
Each article must be original, and pass plagiarism and not AI generated content checks. You can submit multiple articles as long as each is distinct. Proper citation of all references and image sources is mandatory.
There are no specific requirements to register for the hackathon, although it is recommended to have some basic knowledge of the relevant topics, such as Data Science, Machine Learning, or Deep Learning, along with proficiency in a coding language, preferably Python.
In the Blogathon, an article typically explores a specific topic or idea within Data Science or Generative AI and is required to be at least 1000 words long. A guide, on the other hand, is a more comprehensive resource, covering all aspects of a particular subject in data science, and must be at least 2500 words long. Guides aim to serve as a one-stop resource, providing detailed insights and practical applications, whereas articles might focus on narrower or more specific topics.
Depending on the type of competition, you can participate individually or in a team.
Multiple submissions of the same article are prohibited and could lead to disqualification. Articles failing to meet the required length, originality, or citation standards will be rejected.
AVCC is a community for authors who have had three or more articles published in the Blogathons. Members benefit from monetary rewards for each published article and get the opportunity to showcase their work to a larger audience.
You can access the problem statement under the "Problem Statement" tab once the Hackathon is live.
