# Participating in a Challenge {% hint style="danger" %} Only users can take part in the challenges. Organizations are barred. {% endhint %} Participating in a challenge is easy and takes a few seconds. Click on the Challenge Link and on the next page click on **"Participate"** or **"Apply Now"** the Green Button**.** **Participate** appears when your participation does not require approval from the organizer. **Apply Now** appears when your participation must be approved by the organizer. If the participation requires approval, the organizers will look into your Dockship Profile to approve your participation. It's a good idea to keep your Dockship Profile updated. {% hint style="info" %} You can take part in a challenge as long as the application date has not passed. {% endhint %} --- # 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.
