This is the new version of Al Zimmermann's Programming Contests.
These contests are intended for people who like to compete on programming challenges, and spend much of CPU and/or brain power on them.

Each contest offers sculptures by Bathsheba Grossman.

Each contest specifies a problem that you must solve.
Generally, it's easy to find a solution but not so easy to find a good solution.
Although these are called "programming contests", technically you don't need to write a computer program to enter. You can enter whether you use a computer, manual calculations, or tea leaves to solve the problem.

These contests have an associated discussion group. If you think you might enter the contests, you should join the discussion group.

To enter a contest, you just need to register.
Once registered, you may submit your solutions whenever you like, they will be automatically scored and the results page will be updated accordingly.
