# About Challenges

Dockship provides a platform for startups and data science communities to host Challenges. Challenges are like a Hackathon where everyone is solving a given problem statement and achieving the highest possible grade.

Challenges on Dockship are of three types:

### A. Hiring Challenges

Hiring challenges are organized by Startups that are looking to hire interns or full-time employees. Hiring challenges may or may not be accompanied by a bounty - Bounty is the prize money awarded to the rank 1 holder in a Challenge.

### B. Community Challenges

Community Challenges are organized by communities that wish to engage their members actively using a Challenge.

### C. Practice Challenges

Practice challenges are organized by the admins of the Dockship platform. These challenges are meant for participants to polish their skills.
