I quote @wcukierski's answer from the first post in discussions:

Many factors influence whether a competition runs on the main page with points & medals, including timelines, available funding, Kaggle's own team bandwidth/involvement in preparation, similarity to previous competitions, dataset signal/size, whether the data is publicly available, whether the topic is experimental, and much more.
\n Running on the community competitions platform is not a knock on the quality of the problem! It just means one or more of the above were at play (or, in the case of the hundreds of independently run competitions launched each month, that they were never intended to run on the main page).

Hope that helps!
