Hello everyone!

We are opening a Call for Tasks for upcoming Repovive contests.

Repovive is a competitive programming platform that regularly hosts Starter, Standard, and Premier rounds. We are looking for original and high-quality problems from the community.

We especially welcome complete contest proposals, since having a full set with a consistent difficulty curve usually leads to a better contest. However, submitting a single task is also completely fine.

You can submit your proposal here: https://repovive.com/proposals/contest

After submitting a proposal, we will contact you and provide feedback within at most 3 days. If the proposal is accepted, the payment will be made immediately according to the payment structure below.

What kind of tasks are we looking for?

We are interested in problems with clean ideas, short and natural statements, and solutions where the main difficulty is algorithmic thinking.

In general, we prefer tasks that are:

  • original and unpublished;
  • not implementation-heavy without a strong idea;
  • easy to understand after reading the statement;
  • backed by a clear intended solution.

When submitting a task, please include the statement idea, intended solution, expected difficulty, and any important observations. If you are submitting a full contest, please submit the tasks as a set with their intended slots.

Payment structure

The following amounts are our current rewards for accepted tasks, depending on the final position and difficulty of the problem.

Problem Premier rounds Standard rounds
A $7 $5
B $10 $7
C $20 $10
D $30 $20
E $45 $30
F $75 $45
G $100 $75

The final position of a task may be adjusted during preparation, and the reward will be based on the position where the task is finally used.

These amounts may be updated over time, and we will announce any changes in advance.

The authors of accepted tasks will be shown on the page of each problem. For example, you can see the author section on this task.

We are looking forward to seeing your ideas!

Will the problems we submit only be considered for the difficulty level that we choose, or is it just for getting an initial idea?

Because some people may not know how much the difficulty varies in the Repovive round.

      Is it possible to add an edit after submit feature? I couldn't find any edit option, and it would be helpful in case someone notices an error in their submitted version.

You can also give free premium access for every successful problem submission.

How long is the waitlist? I have one div2 round (6 Problems) which I want to host.

    Giving premium access for accepted problem submissions is a nice idea, and we will consider it.

    About your round, we will contact you very soon. Once the problems are reviewed and agreed on, we will try to schedule the contest as soon as possible. It can usually be held within 2 to 4 weeks after everything is finalized.
