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.
