For those that don't know UKIEPC is it's the UK & Ireland Subregional Contest for NWERC (the Northwestern Europe European Regional Contest), of the ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest ICPC.

UKIEPC is a practice competition, held annually that began in 2013. It was set up to help universities pick teams to travel to NWERC but doesn't automatically select the team. The event itself is organised in a distributed manner. It is physically hosted at several universities around the UK and Ireland.

The same problem set is used at all sites. All the scores are gathered electronically, and the results can be viewed against other local teams, and all the teams across the UK and Ireland.

It may sound like a lot to take in and daunting task for some if you're relatively new to programming but the contest is suitable for programmers of almost all skill levels, from beginner to expert. The problem set has both very easy and very difficult problems which are marked individually for both the UK & Ireland.

If you want a cheeky look at some of the previous year questions and solutions all the previous year's problem sets and solutions are available on the UKIEPC site!

Redbrick is currently working to secure sponsorship and some great prizes for the event. You can check the website to find out as soon as we have any more info on our prizes.

We'd love to have as many of you as possible take part. Have a look at the website and consider registering for what's set to be a great event in our Redbrick calendar, And you don't know you might learn a few new things about programming or make some new friends. Hope to see you all there!
