Sorry if you have seen it already.

Convinced you and your friends are world-class programmers? If so, we're providing you the opportunity to prove it! We are pleased to announce the Fourth Annual ICFP Programming Contest to be held in conjunction with the 2001 International Conference on Functional Programming (ICFP 2001). All programmers are invited to enter the contest, either individually or in teams; we especially encourage students to enter. You may use any programming language (or combination of languages) to show your skill. On Thursday, July 26, 2001 at 15:00 UTC, we will publish a challenge task on the Web site and by e-mail to registered participants. Teams will have until Sunday, 29 July 2001, 15:00 UTC (72 hours) to implement a program to perform this task and submit it to the contest judges. We've designed the contest for direct, head-to-head comparison of language technology and programming skill. We have a range of prizes for the winners: cash awards, special student prizes, and, of course, unlimited bragging rights.
