We will provide a link to the video recording of the programming contest
report as soon we have it. Congratulations to the winners, and thanks

Contest Code Open Sourced
Fri, 30 July 17:45 UTC
We're excited to announce that we have open sourced the code that we used to
put together the contest under the BSD3 license.
You can find the code alongside the source for this website
in
this repository.
Contest winners notified
Wed, 28 July 17:54 UTC
We've sent e-mails notifying the winners. The final scoreboard will be
reavealed and the winners will be announced at the ICFP conference on August 23-25, 2021.
Partial scoreboard, poses.live future and Team Writeups
Some teams have already posted interesting writeups on how they approached
the problem. We started collecting these here.
Several people have asked what will happen to the
poses.live website now that the contest
is over. Since there is some interest in keeping it around, the organisers
will move this to a smaller instance on a personal server. All data from
the contest will be wiped, and teams will have to re-register on this new
instance if they want to continue trying it out. There will be significant
downtime this week as we move it.
We will also release source code of the portal and judge after the contest
presentation at ICFP 2021. Thanks again to everyone for taking part in this!
It's over!

The ICFP Contest is over for this year!
We would like to thank all teams for particating, and we hope people had a
lot of fun implementing UIs and solvers for the problem, regardless of how
well they did on the scoreboard.
The poses.live server will remain up for a
bit more. If you want to qualify for prizes, don't forget to upload
your source code on your team profile page within the next 12 hours.

The Lightning Division (first 24 hours of the contest) has now ended. We
hope everyone had fun so far!
We have now extended the specification with
bonuses, which allow you gain certain advantages in other problems.
We would like to remind everyone that the Lightning Division ends in twelve
hours on Sat, 10 July 12:00 (noon) UTC.
To keep things exciting, we will freeze the scoreboard temporarily on
Sat, 10 July from 11:30 to 12:30 UTC. We've also limited the scoreboard to
teams with at least one valid solution.
Additionally, we have updated the
specification with a new API endpoint to obtain some information about
submitted poses.
We have set up a Discord server for participants to communicate and
socialise during the contest.
You can join the server here.
