    • 2024 Cherry Blossom Prediction Competition! The international prediction competition, “When will the cherry trees bloom in 2024?”, will be open throughout February 2024.  The competition organizers will provide all the publicly available data they can find on the bloom date of cherry trees. Competitors will use this data, in combination with any other publicly available data, to create reproducible predictions of the bloom dates at five locations around the globe.  Compete for prizes of up to $5,000 and help scientists better understand the impacts of climate change. Complete submissions include a short narrative and a link to a publicly accessible Git repository.  Partners include George Mason University, Columbia University, and the U.S. National Phenology Network.
