• The 1996 contest winners are now available. I am sorry for the delay in the release of the winners.
  
  
• There is no 1997 contest.
  
  The next contest will not open until sometime in March 1998, and will close sometime around the end of May 1998. The rules for the 1998 contest have not been formed at this time and are not expected to be ready for distribution until late February 1998.
  
  So what happened to 1997? Well the next USENIX Technical Conference will be held Jun 15-19, 1998 (in New Orleans, USA). The 18 month span between conferences will cause the IOCCC to skip over 1997.
  
  
• Be sure to wait until the 1998 rules are posted before submitting entries. Rules differ from year to year, sometimes in significant ways.
