Cloudzy offers cloud credits to IOAI 2026 medalists

Cloudzy has launched the Cloudzy AI Olympiad Builder Credits, an independent initiative providing complimentary cloud infrastructure credits to eligible medalists of the 2026 International Olympiad in Artificial Intelligence.

Official Individual Contest gold medalists may claim $200 in Cloudzy credits, silver medalists $100, and bronze medalists $50. The credits are valid for one month from the date they are issued and may be used across eligible Cloudzy products, subject to availability, location, account approval, compliance requirements, and product restrictions.

The initiative is designed to give high-performing student builders a practical resource for what comes after the awards: hosting an application, testing an API, running an experiment, processing data, deploying a research prototype, or turning an early idea into something other people can use.

Cloudzy backs people who build. Through its Education Program, the company already gives universities, research teams, and student groups the cloud resources to run real work rather than stop at a proposal. The Builder Credits extend that further down the age range, to students who have proven they can take on hard technical problems and now need somewhere for their ideas to actually run. Talent shows up long before a degree does, and the gap between an idea and a working project is usually infrastructure, not ability. Cloudzy intends to keep opening opportunities like this one.

Who can claim

The pilot is limited to official IOAI 2026 Individual Contest gold, silver, and bronze medalists. Team Challenge awards, GAITE awards, honorable mentions, coaches, team leaders, and non-medalist participants are not included in the initial offer.

Claims require identity and award verification. Service availability also depends on location, account approval, product capacity, and compliance checks.

How the claim process works

There is no form and no public coupon code. Eligible medalists send an email to [email protected] with their full legal name, the name shown in the official results, the country they represented, and their medal tier. Cloudzy checks the claim against official results, requests additional evidence where necessary, and applies the relevant credit after approval. A Cloudzy account is only needed once a medal has been verified.

Each award is assigned to one verified recipient and cannot be transferred, exchanged, withdrawn, or redeemed for cash. No payment card is required to claim a credit or to use it, and Cloudzy will not automatically bill a recipient solely because a promotional credit expires or is exhausted.

Claims close on August 31, 2026.
