Google Code Jam 2011

Google Code Jam is a programming competition in which professional and
student programmers are asked to solve increasingly complex algorithmic
challenges in a limited amount of time.
The contest is all-inclusive: Google
Code Jam lets you compete in the programming language and development
environment of your choice. The competition consists of four online rounds, starting on May 6th and
culminating in the world finals at Google's office in Tokyo, Japan.

Eligibility:

The exact details are explained in the Terms, but here are some of the
requirements that you have to meet at the time of registration:
  • You are 13 years of age or older. Only those who are 18
    years of age or older around the time of the final round (see the Terms for
    the exact date) are eligible to attend the onsite finals.
  • You are not a current employee/intern of Google Inc.,
    or an employee of any Google affiliate or subsidiary. If you have a job

    the final round, you will not be eligible to travel to or compete in the
    final round.
