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.
