This competition is a result of a joint effort of the Mathematical society of Serbia and High school for computing . The primary motive and goal of this competition is identifying computing talent among young students. That kind of talent was always a matter of our concern and attention. We have invested much effort and resources to support young programmers in their education, personal development, work and on their road to success. Apart from popularization of informatics and programming among students, the goal of this event is to create friendly environment in which students can make new friends and exchange information. This should induce a better relation between Balkan countries on a cultural and educational basis.
