When will the next International Obfuscated C Code Contest (IOCCC) be held? How can I get a copy of the current and previous winning entries?
The contest schedule is tied to the dates of the USENIX conferences at which the winners are announced. At the time of this writing, it is expected that the yearly contest will open in October. To obtain a current copy of the rules and guidelines, send e-mail with the Subject: line “send rules” to: {apple,pyramid,sun,uunet}!hoptoad!judges or judges@toad.com (Note that these are not the addresses for submitting entries.) Contest winners should be announced at the winter USENIX conference in January, and are posted to the net sometime thereafter. Winning entries from previous years (to 1984) are archived at uunet (see question 17.12) under the directory ~/pub/ioccc. As a last resort, previous winners may be obtained by sending e-mail to the above address, using the Subject: “send YEAR winners”, where YEAR is a single four-digit year, a year range, or “all”.
