You don't need an edu email to participate. You can sign up with any school issued email address, student ID card, or other official proof of enrollment.

Thanks. On rereading I realise the eligibility conditions are ORed which I misread as AND.

In the UK it requests a .ac.uk email address instead of .edu which is standard for most/all UK university domains.

I thought .edu was a US-thing.
