Hi everyone!
The 7th OCPC (Winter 2026) has concluded last week, and as usual, I'd like to write a blog with some closing remarks.
Winners
Onsite winners (overall and upsolving)
Overall, we had 81 teams that had submitted at least one problem, of which 19 teams participated onsite in Osijek.
We'd like to congratulate the overall winners of the camp, according to the rated scoreboard (thanks to BigBag for maintaining it!):

Very impressive results, I hope you all the best in the upcoming official ICPC events 😊

What? Where? When? game
As usual, we did our best to ensure that onsite participation is not only educational, but also fun and memorable. Besides regular contest and live post-contest discussions, the camp included:
- A lot of souvenirs from the camp and sponsors (t-shirts, water bottles, and even sweat pants!);
- Laser tag and escape room sessions on first leisure day;
- Karting and What? Where? When? intellectual game / quiz on the second leisure day;
- Exclusive camp hoodies for onsite winners (overall, and by upsolving counts).
I generally hope and believe that the camp provides a great opportunity not only to grow as competitive programmers (which it of course does too!), but also to meet new people and broaden connections across different cultures.
