====== Welcome to P.24 ======
{{p24-logo.png?175 }}
P.24 is a programming competition being held at the University of Southern California during E-Week, from 12:00 PM (noon) on February 18th to 12:00 PM (noon) February 19th (Presidents' Day, University Holiday). Unlike a traditional programming competition, the goal of P.24 is to create a complete application. Participants will be given 24 hours to complete their applications, at which time winners will be selected by a panel of judges. And of course, there will be both punch and pie.

P.24 is a project of [[http://pollux.usc.edu/~upe/|USC Upsilon Pi Epsilon]], the computer science honor society at USC.

The contest has been renamed to the "Google All-Nighter". More information is available on the  [[http://googleallnighter.googlemashups.com|Google All-Nighter contest page]].</note>
