Midnight Code Cup 2025
It’s a problem-solving competition created for the AI era. The idea is simple: use any tech you want, you will still be challenged and have lots of fun.
Algorithmic challenges, optimization puzzles, cutting-edge computer science, and some just plain weird problems. If you have enjoyed any of the ICPC, Challenge 24, Deadline24, IPSC, ICFPC and even CTF (ex. Forensics challenges) — Midnight Code Cup is for you.
If you haven’t heard of those contests before, but like computer science, solving problems and experimenting with AI — you’ll enjoy Midnight Code Cup!
Last year’s problem overview here.
Q: Who can participate
The contest is intended for people aged 18 and over, competing in teams of three. Please note that we won’t be able to invite participants under 18 to the finals.
Q: Can I participate with an incomplete team?
Yes, but you’ll definitely have less of a chance to qualify for the finals.
Q: If I qualify for the finals — will my travel be covered?
We will cover three nights of accommodation at the hotel for all participants. We also aim to cover travel costs as broadly as possible; however, the extent of flight coverage will depend on the final list of finalists. Details regarding travel support will be announced after the qualification round.
