Hello Codeforces!

We're glad to invite you to Blitz Round #24 on September 20, 2026, at 10:00 UTC, a regular programming contest for beginners!

This is a rated competition for participants with rating $$$\le 1750$$$.

Format and Difficulty

The competition is designed to help you get started with competitive programming and improve your problem-solving skills.

You will have 1 hour to solve 5 easy problems.

The scoring for each task is block-based, meaning that points are awarded separately for each block of tests, and only if your solution passes all tests in that block.

If there is a tie between two participants, the participant whose last productive submission — that is, a submission that added at least one point — will be ranked higher in the leaderboard.

Registration

You can register for the competition by clicking "Join" on the contest page.

We encourage everyone who is eligible to participate, especially those who are still getting started with competitive programming.

Prizes

The winners of the contest will receive Eolymp Mints.

Prizes are only awarded to participants with rating $$$\le 1750$$$.

Eolymp Mints are reward points you can earn by participating in contests and other activities on the platform. You can use your Mints to get prizes such as exclusive T-shirts and other rewards from the Eolymp Store.

Call for Tasks

We are looking for problem setters to help us prepare problems for upcoming rounds.
