On behalf of the Universal Cup, I am pleased to announce the Call for Tasks for The 4th Universal Cup Semifinals.

The 4th Universal Cup Semifinals serves as a qualifying contest to select the teams that will advance to The 4th Universal Cup Finals.

We anticipate selecting 10-15 high-quality tasks to create a contest experience comparable to The 3rd Universal Cup Semifinals. Previous Universal Cup Semifinals/Finals competition tasks can provide a good guide on the desired composition of tasks. You may check them here, here, here, and most recently here.

We sincerely welcome everyone who is not competing in the Semifinals to submit their tasks. This is a unique opportunity to share your problems with the strongest competitors in the community. Furthermore, selected task writers may be qualified to apply the contributors slots for The 4th Universal Cup Finals.

To submit your task, you must create a proposal and upload all task materials directly to our proposal management system: https://qoj.ac/proposals. This is the only valid method for task submissions. Please do NOT submit your tasks via emails, Discord messages, private messages, or any other channel. A detailed submission guide is given here. The deadline for the Call for Tasks is September 1, 2026 23:59:59 (AoE Time)

We look forward to seeing your tasks contribute to The 4th Universal Cup Semifinals!
