You can buy the goodies of your choice from [https://goodies.codechef.com/](https://goodies.codechef.com/), using laddus. There are various ways to earn laddus, as listed below: ## Division 1: ### In Monthly Cook-Off Contests \*Top 10 Global users will get $100 each. \*Top 25 Indian users will get Amazon Vouchers worth Rs. 1500 each. ### In Monthly Lunchtime Contests \*Top 10 Global users will get $100 each. \*Top 25 Indian users will get Amazon Vouchers worth Rs. 1500 each. - Top 10 school students will receive 300 laddus & a certificate. - Top 10 Indian school students (except those in the point above) will receive 300 laddus & a certificate. * * * ### Miscellaneous Categories: - Random Laddus to any 5 users: 200 laddus - 100% attendance participation: 1000 laddus (This is independent of Division. You should have non-zero score in your division. That is, the non-scorable problems from the other division do not count) - First to solve each problem individually: 100 laddus - Country wise participation: Top 10, 20 and 30 will get 30, 40 and 50 laddus as per participation (participation is counted by combining both Divisions) - Country wise performance: 200, 250, 300 laddus as per performance - Consistently in top 10 ranks: 2500 laddus Read more about the Miscellaneous Categories [here](https://blog.codechef.com/2017/03/03/new-goodies-new-categories-new-prizes-every-contest/). * * * * * * * * * ## Division 2: ### In Monthly Cook-Off Contests #### For Global participants - Top 5 from ranklist will receive 50 laddus. #### For Indian participants - Top 5 from ranklist (except users who received laddus in the previous point) will receive 50 laddus. ### In Monthly Lunchtime Contests #### For Global participants - Top 5 school students from ranklist will receive 50 laddus & a certificate. #### For Indian participants - Top 5 school students (except users who received laddus in the previous point) will receive 50 laddus & a certificate. * * * ### Miscellaneous Categories: - Random Laddus to any 5 users: 50 laddus - 100% attendance participation: 1000 laddus (This is independent of Division.

@admin,@vijju123 i fell just top 3 school students in long challenge div 2 is low, i think top 5 might be better due to no of school students in div 2 is much higher when compared no of school students in div 1. just a suggestion(atleast for indian school students) ---

This is with regard to the 100% participation. Will unrated contests like March Lunchtime 2018(LTIME58A) be taken into account for that category? I wanted to participate in it, but as it was postponed I thought would do it in the practice section. So will my participation streak be reset to zero or not? ---

For obtaining 100% attendance participation reward, can a user’s participation streak start from Cook Off or Lunch Time? Or will it start from the beginning of the month, i.e., Long Challenge? For Example: If a user is participating regularly from June Cook Off 2017, then can he get 100% attendance participation reward for **June Cook Off 2017 to June Long Challenge 2018**? Or will he get it for **July Long Challenge 2017 to June Lunch Time 2018**? ---

Hello, [I ranked fifth in the recent February Cook-Off 2019 Division 2](https://www.codechef.com/rankings/COOK103B) and by admin’s response to this question, 50 laddus are awarded: ```auto Division 2: ... IN MONTHLY COOK-OFF CONTESTS ... For Global participants Top 5 from ranklist will receive 50 laddus. Additionally, they get bonus (Bonus = n - contest rank) where 'n' is 6 for short contests. ``` However, there are no laddus present when I go to the CodeChef goodies page: [Screenshot - 01cf162ba3d3021588599dc591e1f436 - Gyazo](https://gyazo.com/01cf162ba3d3021588599dc591e1f436) . Is this a bug, or is there a delay, or am I misinterpreting the prize description? Thanks ---
