Hello Codeforces community!

My name is Zakaria, and I’m excited to present a new initiative created and organized by the ENSA Marrakech Computer Science Club, open to all students of Université Cadi Ayyad (UCA).

This project is designed by students, for students, with one clear mission: Build a strong competitive programming culture across all UCA institutions and help students grow into ICPC-ready competitors.

What is the Coding League — Code212 UCA CP League?

The league is a continuous, long-term program built around biweekly (once every two weeks) contests.

It includes:

  • Official biweekly contests to track progress
  • Guidance for beginners and challenges for advanced students
  • A community linking students from ENSA Marrakech, FSSM, FSTG, ENSA Safi (UCA), and other UCA institutions

Whether you’re completely new to CP or a seasoned solver—we welcome everyone.

Awards & Recognition

We strongly believe that commitment deserves rewards.

1st Place — Special Gift

The overall winner of this edition will receive a special prize to celebrate the effort, perseverance, and results achieved throughout the league.

Certificates of Participation

All students who stay consistent and complete the league will receive an official Certificate of Participation.

Additional Rewards

We are also preparing:

Extra gifts for top performers

Surprise rewards during the final rounds

Recognition for the most consistent and hardworking students

Our goal is to keep the energy and motivation high throughout the year.

Looking for Sponsors & Problem Setters

To make this league even bigger and more impactful, we are inviting collaborations from the community.

Companies / Organizations — Sponsorship Opportunities

We welcome companies or startups who want to:

  • Sponsor prizes

  • Support certificates and printing

  • Offer internship opportunities for winners

  • Provide swag (T-shirts, stickers, gadgets)

  • CP Experts — Problem Setting & Reviewing

We also look for:

  • Problem setters
  • Problem reviewers
  • Technical mentors

Any help is greatly appreciated and contributes directly to UCA students’ growth.

Why This Initiative Matters

  • Competitive programming is a powerful skill-builder.
  • It helps students develop:
  • Strong algorithmic thinking
  • Better debugging and problem-solving abilities
  • Confidence in technical interviews
  • Discipline and consistency

By uniting students from all UCA institutions, we aim to build a motivated, skilled, and collaborative community around programming and problem solving.

To the Codeforces community: Thank you for inspiring us. This initiative would not exist without your problems, contests, and knowledge.

Let’s make this first edition a memorable one!
