Crypto Challenge Links Prize Competition With Disability-Focused Community Giving
ARQS is using a new paper-portfolio competition to combine digital-asset education, a $12,000 prize pool and a campaign intended to support disability-focused community causes.
A new 
ARQS-sponsored crypto competition is being positioned as both a digital-asset challenge and a community fundraising platform. The Million-Dollar Year Crypto Challenge is expected to accept up to 1,000 entry slots, with a planned $19.99 paid-entry option, an equal no-purchase path, and no more than five accepted entries per email account.
Each entry receives a simulated $1,000,000 bankroll, selects from ten major cryptocurrencies plus cash, locks a portfolio, and competes for one year. Five cash prizes total $12,000.
Where the community component comes in
ARQS says it intends to direct net proceeds after the prize pool and disclosed contest costs toward disability-focused causes, with Norwood Ravenswood and Easter Seals BC/Yukon / BC Lions Society for Children with Disabilities identified as intended beneficiaries.
The wider campaign also connects to ARQS community programs: a separate Community Wishing Well Fund, an optional $5 support path, and $5,000+ Ride Partner participation for inclusive bike rides and related experiences.
Four ways to participate
1. Pre-register for the Crypto Challenge.
2. Support the Community Fund.
3. Become a $5,000+ Ride Partner or join the ride team.
4. Contact ARQS if your business or organization wants to participate.
Donations of $100+ can request charitable-receipt processing through the Community Fund page.
What happens next
Pre-registration is open now. The target official entry window is October 15 through November 15, 2026, with portfolios locking and the one-year competition beginning November 16, 2026. Paid contest processing remains gated until launch requirements are satisfied.
