This year, the contest starts at 00:00 June 17 Friday UTC (= 24:00 June 16 Thursday UTC) and ends at 00:00 June 20 Monday UTC (= 24:00 June 19 Sunday UTC). Unlike in previous years, there is no 24-hour lightning division. The task description will be published in this blog when the contest starts. Solutions to the task must be submitted online before the contest ends. Details of the submission procedure will be announced along with the contest task. This is an open contest. Anybody may participate except for the contest organizers and members of the same laboratory as the the contest chair's. No advance registration or entry fee is required. Participants may form teams. A team consists of every person who contributes ideas and/or code towards a submission. Teams may have any number of members. Individuals may only be members of a single team and teams may not divide or collaborate with each other once the contest has begun. Any programming language(s) may be used as long as the submitted program can be run by the judges on a standard Linux environment with no network connection. Details of the judges' environment will be announced later. There will be prizes for the first (US$1,000) and second ($500) place teams as well as a discretionary judges' prize ($500). There will also be a total of $6,000 travel support. (The prizes and travel support are subject to the budget plan of ICFP 2011 pending approval by ACM.) 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", - and the team winning the judges' prize is "an extremely cool bunch of hackers". Additional announcements about the contest will be made at http://www.icfpcontest.org/. Questions can be posted as comments to the blog or e-mailed to icfpc2011-blogger AT kb.ecei.tohoku.ac.jp (please replace AT with @). We look forward to your participation!
