The competition is open to everybody, as long as they belong to some Nordic entity in some sense (all belong to a given university or company, or all just come from the same country). In addition, all student teams meeting the ICPC eligibility criteria will automatically compete in the ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC), where they can qualify to the Regional Contest in Germany and then to the World Finals in China!

Basically, any student who started his/her university/college studies in 2005 or later is ICPC eligible to compete. For exceptions such as retaken years, military service and so on, please refer to the ICPC rules.
