The Gulf Programming Contest (GPC) is one of the largest and highly esteemed regional programming competitions hosting undergraduate students from Gulf countries since 2011. The contest invites students from Computer Science and other IT-related fields to compete and display their skills in designing and implementing scientific and algorithmic solutions that solve real-life problems. Using any of the following high-level programming languages: Python, C, C++, and Java, students work together in teams to create innovative solutions.
The next GPC is in Spring 2025, and the contest will be hosted at King Fahd University Petroleum and Minerals, Dhahran, Saudi Arabia.
