Google Code Jam is an international programming competition hosted and administered by Google. The competition began in 2003 as a means to identify top engineering talent for potential employment at Google but these days mostly attracts sport programmers.[1] The competition consists of a set of algorithmic problems which must be solved in a fixed amount of time. Competitors may use any programming language and development environment to obtain their solutions, but top places usually require careful preparation of fast utility libraries for common tasks such as IO, data structures, and prepared solutions for typical classes of problems just as in other programming competitions.

In 2008, over 11,000 people from more than 128 countries competed for prize money totaling over $80,000, including a top prize of $10,000.[2]
