This doesn't depend on the org. actually. It's the sponsors that propose different categories 👍

Other comments: Not a huge deal. Starting at UTC means I end 10 am AEST, Monday. Which means I can't spend the last few hours due to needing sleep for work.

It also means that for Europe, as an example, the contest starts at midnight 😃, after which many will go to sleep and only start in the morning. And since the organisers are present during the competition for whatever might arise, we believe this timespan is fair.

While we were using Discord, last year, Slack is a clear better choice

We’d also like to again thank the contest and all the judges for their hard work with 25 projects in 4 BEAM languages: Elixir, Erlang, Gleam, LFE.

Correction: 25 projects. 30+ was an initial number, but there were teams that either quit or submitted no code.
