Sometimes, it's not all about technical skills to break into a system.

Are you able to focus your social engineering skills to extract enough useful data from social networks to use in a spear-phishing attack?

The Social Engineering Challenge asks teams to retrieve various bits of information through a number of non-traditional techniques. Additionally, teams will also be expected to propose policies and mitigation methods to guard against any attacks that they were able to exploit. The competition is intended for high-school and college teams.
