The British Informatics Olympiad is the computing competition for schools and colleges. We are proud to present BIO 2005, sponsored by Lionhead Studios.
The 2005 British Informatics Olympiad

BIO 2005 will take place in February and March, 2005. The competition is open to all students in full-time pre-university education in mainland Britain, and involves solving problems against the clock, using nothing more than pen, paper and a computer.

The BIO consists of three stages. The first is a 3-hour test, the British Informatics Olympiad, which will take place in schools during February-March 2005. This involves solving a range of problems using a computer. The second stage is the final, held in Cambridge from 1-3 April 2005. The top four finalists will make up the team to travel to the 2005 International Olympiad in Informatics, hosted by Poland.

As well as the possibility of winning a medal - our competitors won over twenty in the last ten years, including four golds - the team will enjoy VIP treatment and get to socialise with contestants from over 75 different countries that will take part.
