We are presenting the launch of Pinefests, a series of Pine Script® programming contests. Each contest will bring a unique opportunity for programmers to showcase their skills and creativity with Pine, and compete for the winning prize of 500 USD.
We will be issuing a few challenges each year, in the form of an idea published from the PineCoders account, so be sure to follow PineCoders if you plan on participating. The challenge for Pinefest #1 will be published shortly.
This is how Pinefests will work.
Submissions
- Participants will have one week to submit their entry.
- Entries must be your own work. Calls to functions of previously published libraries (by you or others) are allowed, as is the use of a private library accompanying your entry.
- An entry must be prepared as a private script publication, including a detailed description explaining to its audience how it works and can be useful, just like public scripts published in Community Scripts. It must comply with our Script Publishing Rules.
- Submissions will be in the form of a comment posted on the idea publication of the relevant Pinefest contest, containing a link to the programmer’s private publication. This way, all TradingViewers can view submissions. Note that publishing links to private publications is against House Rules; we make an exception for our Pinefest submissions.
- No public script publications will be accepted as entries. Participants who publish their entries publicly will be disqualified, and their publication will be hidden.
Evaluation criteria
A PineCoders committee will evaluate all submissions based on the following criteria:
- Submission date
- Solution to the challenge
- Code efficiency
- Code readability
- Description
- Visuals
- Script usability
- Compliance with our Script Publishing Rules
In case two or more publications reach an identical final evaluation, the earliest submission will win.
Rewards
The winner of each challenge will receive 500 USD and publish their script publicly in our Community Scripts. Their publication will also be awarded an Editors’ Picks, for which the winner will receive an additional 100 USD. Authors of the five highest-scoring submissions will be awarded TradingView merchandise.
