Hi everyone! On behalf of the Universal Cup, I am pleased to announce the Call for Tasks for The 4th Universal Cup Finals.

The Scientific Committee of The Universal Cup invites everyone (except for the contestants) to submit their tasks to The 4th Universal Cup Finals. The 4th Universal Cup Finals serves as the final championship of our fourth season, where the top-performing teams from the online stages and semifinals will compete for the prestigious title of Champion of the 4th Universal Cup. This is a unique opportunity to share your problems to the strongest competitors in the competitive programming community. Additionally, selected task authors may be invited to serve as onsite judges at the 4th Universal Cup Finals, with travel and accommodations covered by the organizers.

We anticipate selecting 10-15 high-quality tasks to create a contest experience comparable to The 3rd Universal Cup Finals. Previous Universal Cup Semifinals/Finals competition tasks can provide a good guide on the desired composition of tasks. You may check them here, here, here, here, and most recently here.

To submit your task, you must create a proposal and upload all task materials directly to our proposal management system: https://qoj.ac/proposals. This is the only valid method for task submissions. Please do NOT submit your tasks via emails, Discord messages, private messages, or any other channel. A detailed submission guide is given here. The deadline for the Call for Tasks is February 1st, 2027 23:59:59 (AoE Time)

We look forward to seeing your tasks contribute to The 4th Universal Cup Finals!
