Dear Akshay,

This is great stuff. Let me just throw in my .02$

I think the main challenge in organizing a competitive competition is
to get to get to the target group and inform them as early as
possible. For this as you know, you need to promote the campaign as
early as possible.

For this, i would suggest you put some samples of questions that will
be asked in the competitions. Question formats helps participants
anticipate questions and prepare accordingly. Go and put flyers and
pamphlets to as many colleges as possible as early as possible!!!
spread the word..

I guess the hard part will be to strike a balance between challenging
the hardcore programmers and starting programmers.

For example, you can refer to topcoder.com's Single Round Matches (SRMs).

Also, may be you should keep some section where you can tell the
participants about FOSS, may be someone from FOSSNepal can come up to
the competition and explain a bit about the things happening in and
around FOSS circle here in Nepal.

Cheers and All the best for the competition. Gluck!!
