According to the official rules, participation eligibility is generally determined by the participant’s legal residence in eligible countries. The rules do not specifically mention restrictions for international students living in the U.S. under an F1 visa. However, the eligibility to receive a prize is based on legal residence.

Here’s the relevant section from the official rules:

“While anyone can enter the Gemini API Developer Competition, only participants who legally reside in eligible countries are eligible to receive a prize.”

Since you are living in the U.S. under an F1 visa, and the U.S. is an eligible country, you should be able to participate and be eligible to receive a prize, provided you meet all other requirements.

You can find the official rules of the Gemini API Developer Competition on the competition website at 參加 Gemini API 開發人員競賽  |  Gemini API Developer Competition  |  Google for Developers.
