ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest - ICPC

The ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) is organized annually by ACM. It is a prestigious contest for teams of university students, that started in 1970.

Each team has one computer to solve a bundle of programming problems in five hours. Programs may be submitted during the contest and are evaluated instantly. Erroneous submissions get a penalty, but the team may resubmit adapted programs for the same problem.

Approximately 60 teams compete in the ICPC World Finals, which is typically held late February, March, or early April. In order to earn a spot on the Finals, teams go to regional contests in over 25 regions across the globe. And preceding that there are often local contests to get to the regionals.
