# Community Judging Eligibility A few distinct criteria will be used to determine a user's eligibility to participate in community judging for a contest. To be eligible for community judging a competition, a potential judge must: 1. **Have at least one submission in the Contest they would be judging:** This assures the community judge that they will possess the context and familiarity with the code necessary to provide an accurate and valid submission assessment. 2. **Have earned at least $200 USDC from previous CodeHawks competitions:** This will further mitigate unqualified or inexperienced judges and serve as a Sybil defense mechanism. 3. **Have a total submission to valid submission ratio greater than or equal to 0.2:** This will ensure that only auditors who share Cyfrin's commitment to industry-leading quality can judge other submissions. ### First Flights The criteria for community judging in First Flights may differ from those outlined above. Fewer restrictions may be employed to pursue learning opportunities. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
