Dear Competition Organizers,

I am a developer from Europe, and I noticed that free tier API is not available outside usa. Does this mean developers cannot access the API for the competition and participate in Gemini API Developer Competition?

Best regards,
Raj

No, this is likely due to restrictions in the EU, but you can use a paid account in AIStudio or Vertex AI to participate in the competition.
