ICFP 2005 Contest: Prizes


   Judges' Prize

The judges' prize will be awarded to a team that produces reasonably competitive entries and, in the judges' opinion, has the most effective re-use of their first submission.

In order to help us award the Judges' prize, we are giving the contestants the opportunity to tell us about the organization of their code. If you wish, you may submit a one-page essay describing your submission. In particular, we are interested how well you were able to re-use your first submission for the second, and any interesting techniques, effective you used to structure your code.

Winning the judges' prize is worth US$300, one free student registration to ICFP, and the satisfaction of hearing the judges proclaim that your team is "an extremely cool bunch of re-hackers."
