Katarzyna Mączkowiak, Project Director, said today:
“Marathon24 becomes more popular year by year. A significant increase in the number of registered users and almost twice as many countries in comparison with the first edition proves that many people are willing to participate in the contest and it becomes more and more recognizable among coders from all around the world. I believe that the next editions will reach a wider audience and Poland, as a country where the contest is held, will be widely associated with world-class programmers and new technologies. I sincerely congratulate all the finalists and wish them good luck in the next stage. Those who did not manage to qualify for the Grand Final are invited to participate in the next year’s edition of Marathon24.”
