Welcome to the UWA web-site for the ACM South Pacific Region Programming Competition!

Each year in the middle of second semester, departments and schools across Australia and New Zealand take part in the South Pacific Regional Contest for the ACM Programming Contest. The ACM Programming Contest is sponsored by IBM and usually involves a field of over 3000 teams competing from universities from across the entire globe. The best Australian team and the best New Zealand team will attend the World Finals, which will be held in Banff, Canada in early 2008.

The Perth Site is hosted by the School of Computer Science & Software Engineering at the The University of Western Australia.
