ICFP Programming Contest 2011<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.icfpcontest.org/" target="_blank">http://www.icfpcontest.org/</a><br>
<br>
The ICFP Programming Contest 2011 is the 14th instance of the annual<br>
programming contest series sponsored by The ACM SIGPLAN International<br>
Conference on Functional Programming. This year, the contest starts<br>
at 00:00 June 17 Friday UTC (= 24:00 June 16 Thursday UTC) and ends at<br>
00:00 June 20 Monday UTC (= 24:00 June 19 Sunday UTC). Unlike in<br>
previous years, there is no 24-hour lightning division.<br>
<br>
The task description will be published in this blog when the contest<br>
starts. Solutions to the task must be submitted online before the<br>
contest ends. Details of the submission procedure will be announced<br>
along with the contest task.<br>
<br>
This is an open contest. Anybody may participate except for the<br>
contest organizers and members of the same laboratory as the the<br>
contest chair's. No advance registration or entry fee is required.<br>
<br>
Participants may form teams. A team consists of every person who<br>
contributes ideas and/or code towards a submission. Teams may have<br>
any number of members. Individuals may only be members of a single<br>
team and teams may not divide or collaborate with each other once the<br>
contest has begun.<br>
<br>
Any programming language(s) may be used as long as the submitted<br>
program can be run by the judges on a standard Linux environment with<br>
no network connection. Details of the judges' environment will be<br>
announced later.<br>
<br>
There will be prizes for the first (US$1,000) and second ($500) place<br>
teams as well as a discretionary judges' prize ($500). There will<br>
also be a total of $6,000 travel support. (The prizes and travel<br>
support are subject to the budget plan of ICFP 2011 pending approval<br>
by ACM.)<br>
<br>
In addition, the organizers will declare during the conference that:<br>
<br>
- the first place team's language is "the programming language of<br>
choice for discriminating hackers",<br>
<br>
- the second place team's language is "a fine tool for many<br>
applications",<br>
<br>
- and the team winning the judges' prize is "an extremely cool bunch<br>
of hackers".<br>
<br>
Additional announcements about the contest will be made at<br>
