The ICFP Programming Contest is a programming competition to be held the weekend of July 20 - 23, 2007. The results of the contest will be announced at the International Conference on Functional Programming in Freiburg, Germany, in October 2007.
Task
We will publish the task here at the start of the contest.
Dates and Times
The contest will run from July 20 to July 23, 2007. The contest task will be announced at 12:00 (noon) CEST (Central European Summer Time, or Central European Daylight Time) on Friday, and we will accept entries until 12:00 (noon) CEST on Monday.
For the lightning division, entries will be accepted until 12:00 (noon) CEST on Saturday, July 21.
Prizes
There will be four prizes: First, and second place, lightning division as well as a discretionary judges' prize. Prize money will be awarded to help defray the costs of travel to the contest for the winners and for small cash prizes. In addition, the organizers will declare during the conference that
- The first place team's language is the programming language of choice for discriminating hackers,
- the second place team's language is a fine tool for many applications,
- the lightning division team's language is very suitable for rapid prototyping,
- and the team winning the judge's prize is an extremely cool bunch of hackers.
