The
ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest is a programming world
championship for college students, organized and conducted
yearly by the ACM.
Started 1970 as a local contest somewhere in Texas and then having grown
exponentially in the number of participating
universities each year, the
contest now is spanning the globe. Meanwhile it has been referred to as
the Superbowl of Computer Programming
or even as the Olympic Games
of Computer Science, making other programming contests look like amateur
competitions. |

The
ACM programming contest provides college students with an opportunity to
demonstrate and sharpen their problem solving and
computing skills. Apart from
the fun of competing (and hopefully winning), the contest also provides
an excellent opportunity for listening to
well-known speakers and making
international contacts in computing science. |

The
contest
is a two-tiered competition among teams of students representing institutions
of higher education. The winning teams of the
regional contests (held from
mid-September to mid-December each year) will go forward to the contest
world finals which are held in the
following spring in conjunction
with the ACM Computer Science Conference. |
