On Friday, May 31, 2024, we held our 16th Annual New Brunswick High School Programming Competition. It was the first in-person competition after moving to an online format during the COVID-19 years.
First place winning team: Victor Huang and Rohan Katreddy, from Fredericton High School. They won the Bill Davis Memorial Trophy, which will be displayed in their school for one year. Each team member also won a laptop, provided by J. D. Irving, IT Division, as well as a certificate worth $1000 off first year's tuition in the BScCS (Bachelor of Science in Computer Science) program at UNB Saint John, provided by the UNB Provost.
Second-place winning team: Phan Huy Anh Nguyen and Mihail Olefir, from Saint John High School. Each team member won an iPad Mini, provided by IGT, and a certificate worth $500 off the first year's tuition in the BScCS program at UNB Saint John, provided by the UNB Provost.
Third-place winning team: Zijie Tang and Pengyi Ding, from Kennebecasis Valley High School. Each team member won JBL Clip 4 Portable Speakers with Bluetooth, provided by TechImpact, and a certificate worth $250 off the first year's tuition in the BScCS program at UNB Saint John, provided by the UNB Provost.
Congratulations to all!

We also send a notification to some high school teachers about the event. If you are a teacher from a school that has not participated recently, we'd really like to add you to our mailing list nbhspgmcomp@unb.ca. Note: If you received a notification this year, you're already on our mailing list for next year.
See our contest rules for 2024. These rules and procedures may be modified and/or extended right up to the time of the competition. Registered contestants will eventually be sent a link to a form where they can acknowledge having read and agreed to the rules.
Are you a student/teacher looking to hone your skills? See the sample problems for 2024, 2022, 2021, 2019 or previous years (2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014).
We have prepared a document, "Getting Started with Kattis". It is highly recommended to try out the steps highlighted in this document, so as to avoid problems during the competition. A second document, "Kattis During Contest," explains additional Kattis aspects needed during the contest.
The registration process requires you to give the email address that was used to set up your Kattis account. (If a different email address is given, there will be difficulties.)
