Competitions

Competitions are organized events or contests in which individuals or teams compete against each other to achieve a specific goal, often involving an examination of skills, abilities, or performance in a particular area. The purpose of competitions can range from determining a winner in sports and games to showcasing talent in fields such as arts, academics, or entrepreneurship. Typically, competitions establish criteria for evaluation, rules for participation, and a framework for awards or recognition. They serve to encourage improvement, innovation, and excellence, as participants strive to outperform their peers. Competitions can be formal or informal, local or global, and may vary in structure, including one-time events or ongoing series. Examples include athletic tournaments, spelling bees, coding hackathons, and science fairs.
