Official rules

Everything you need to know about joining and winning the championship.

01

Eligibility

  • Entrants must be 9 to 12 as of 24 August 2026.
  • A one time entry fee of ₦4500 is required to enter, appear on the leaderboard or win a prize.
  • Entry must be completed by a parent or legal guardian, who confirms consent on the child's behalf.
  • Up to two child profiles per parent account may compete.
02

Age Group

  • The championship is open to children 9 to 12.
  • Everyone competes together in one group, on one leaderboard.
03

How to Enter

  • Register each child at registration or add more from the Parent Zone. Every entry needs a leaderboard handle, first name, date of birth and your consent. 
  • There's no cutoff for weekly prizes; join any week and compete for that week's prizes on equal terms.
  • To qualify for the Grand Final, a child needs a scored week in at least 2 of the 4 weeks. Join by the start of Week 3 (7 September) to keep a Grand Final place possible.
04

Billing

Your child can compete in any week their subscription is active. The championship runs across two monthly billing periods, so a monthly plan renews once during the competition.

  • A one time entry fee of 4500 is required to join and win prizes.
  • The entry fee also covers other features of Rapkids App; Kids Comics and FlashMaths
05

Fair Play

  • Every run is checked automatically for signs of scripted or assisted typing.
  • Nothing is auto-disqualified. Every flagged run, and every prospective weekly winner, is reviewed by a person before any result is announced.
  • A child can win only one cash prize category per week; their highest-value one.
  • A household can win at most one cash prize per week.
  • Creating multiple profiles for one child, entering a false date of birth, or playing on another child's account is grounds for disqualification.
06

Prizes and Payment

  • Cash prizes are paid to the guardian on record, never to the child.
  • Paid within 10 business days of the result being announced, by bank transfer or another suitable method.
07

Grand Final and Broadcast

Appearing on camera is never a condition of winning. Every finalist's guardian chooses one of three ways to take part, and all three are eligible for the full prize.

  • Full broadcast: your child appears on camera during the live stream.
  • Audio and avatar only: your child is heard, represented by their avatar, but not shown on camera.
  • Private proctored session: your child competes privately with a proctor, and only the score is made public.
  • Consent for the live stream, the recording staying up afterward, and marketing clips are each separate, and each can be withdrawn at any time.
08

Privacy and Child Protection

  • Public leaderboards show your child's chosen handle only; never their real name or other sensitive details
  • Ask us to remove your child from any public board at any time; we'll do it within 24 hours.
  • Keystroke timing is kept in raw form for 30 days for fair-play checks, then reduced to summary statistics.
  • If your child wins and we need to verify their age, we view the document, confirm it and delete it. We never keep a copy.

That's the whole game. Enter your child and let a fresh leaderboard do the rest.
