Dear list -

Google is excited to announce Google Code Jam Latin America 2007, Powered by TopCoder. This exciting competition that Google is sponsoring encourages the spirit of friendly competition in engineering, programming and computer science communities around the world. We wanted to contact you, and invite aspiring coders to compete in this event.

The Google Code Jam Latin America 2007 will consist of 3 online rounds (January 23, January 30, and February 1), in which participants compete in trying to solve three coding problems faster and more accurately than their competitors. We will then invite the top 50 for the final coding
showdown in our Belo Horizonte office in Brazil on March 1, 2007. All travel and accommodation expenses will be covered by Google and we will be giving away over R$ 75.000 in cash and prizes.

Registration is from January 2 to January 23. If you know of any students who will be interested in participating, please have them register starting January 2nd at:

We look forward to hosting this event, and hope that we will have representation from your list at the finals!
