Hello once again, Codeforces!

Almost 5 months have passed since we organized the Harbour.Space Scholarship Contest 2021-2022. It’s been quite a tough challenge with more than 15,000 participants. However, we were able to select the ones who were ready to take the opportunity and join Harbour.Space this year. In addition to the contest, we carefully reviewed all scholarship applications and awarded a total of 11 students.

We would like to introduce you our Competitive Programming Scholarship Winners who have already arrived to Barcelona:

aniervs, MaksymOboznyi, 244mhq, Meijer, bthero,amanbol, DimmyT, 998kover

We are looking forward to achieving incredible results with our new ICPC teams. One of them, Harbour.Backspace (MaksymOboznyi, 244mhq, 998kover), has already finished in 3rd place during Moscow Workshops. We wish them the best in the upcoming contests.

Codeforces and Harbour.Space

As usual, we are always excited to see Codeforces participants as our students here at Harbour.Space
