SPAR 2025, Round 5

SPAR 5: Semester Programming and Algorithms Round

SPAR 5 is the fifth installment of UWA’s Semester Programming and Algorithms Round, run by the Programming Competition Society (PCS). This team-based coding competition challenges students to solve a series of algorithmic problems under timed conditions, encouraging collaboration, logical thinking, and practical coding skills.

The event welcomes both newcomers and experienced programmers, with separate prize categories to reward outstanding teams:

• 
  

  Open Prize – $450 for the top overall team

  
  


• 
  

  Fresher Prize – $225 for the top beginner team

  
  


• 
  

  Catering – $100 allocated to provide refreshments for all participants

  
  

These prizes and catering are generously sponsored by IMC in exchange for a brief one-slide presentation before the event, where they will list their work and internship opportunities to students.

SPAR 5 aims to grow UWA’s competitive programming culture, support students' skill development, and foster connections with industry partners.
