Online Programming Contest 2024
We are excited to announce this year’s edition of the Online Programming Contest for Universities 2024 (OPC), a team-based competition organized in collaboration with our competitive programming platform, algoleague! Open to all undergraduate students across Turkey, the contest invites teams of three to compete, solve challenging problems, and showcase their programming abilities.
This year marks an exciting shift in the format! We are introducing an online Qualification Round, where the top 10 teams will advance to the Final Round.
Unlike previous years, the Final Round will be held in person at our Taksim space in Istanbul, offering a unique opportunity for participants to meet face-to-face and compete on-site.
