Hi everyone,

DragonByte Coding Challenge 2026 registration closes in a few days.

The problems are ready. The test data is ready. The judges are ready.

The only open question is whether your handle will appear on the leaderboard.

DragonByte is a competitive programming contest organized by Wincent together with misof and his team.

Last year was our first edition. We learned a lot, received great feedback, and this year we are back with a stronger challenge.

The format includes an online qualification round, a main online contest, and an onsite final in Bratislava for the top 20 participants.

And yes, there are prizes:

• €10,000 for 1st place

• €5,000 for 2nd place

• €2,500 for 3rd place

If you qualify for the onsite finals and meet the eligibility criteria, we will also help with travel and accommodation costs up to €400.

If you enjoy algorithmic problems, competitive programming, and the feeling of finally getting an accepted solution after staring at a problem for far too long, you will probably enjoy DragonByte.

Registration closes June 27th, same day as the Qualification round ends.

See you in the contest.
