Today (9AM PST), Microsoft are launching a new AI Skills Fest Challenge thing. It seems quite complicated, but I've done my best to condense all the required knowledge for you, to explain how this thing will work. You can potentially win a 100% exam discount voucher for DP-600 or DP-700, so might be worth it!
1/ Start by registering (here, click on Register Now) for the AI Skills Fest. 2/ Participate in one of the Challenges (you do not even need to complete it):
3/ After participating in a challenge, visit https://aka.ms/aiskillsfest/challengesweepstakes to complete an official entry form. For doing this, you will receive one (1) entry into the corresponding weekly Prize Period drawing. There is a limit of one (1) entry per person overall. 4/ Then, Microsoft will run a sweepstake picking random entrants to win a voucher. Every 7 days, for the next 7 weeks, prizes will be drawn. If you won the sweepstake, you should get an email. In total, there are 50,000 vouchers being given out. You only need to apply once, if you don't win on Week 1, your entry will automatically be rolled into the next week's draw.
5/ If you win a voucher, you must book and take the exam before 21st June 2025. The voucher can be used for any of the following exams:
- AI-102
- AZ-900
- AZ-204
- MS-102
