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

In the middle of September each year, teams from across Australia and New Zealand come together to compete in the South Pacific Programming Competition, a regional contest of the ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest (ACM-ICPC). Sponsored by IBM, the ACM-ICPC "is the oldest, largest, and most prestigious programming contest in the world", typically involving over 5000 teams from universities across the globe competing for the honour of being crowned world champions. The best two teams from the South Pacific Regional Contest qualify for the prestigious World Finals. In 2012, the World Finals will be held in Warsaw, Poland.

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