Prizes
The top six entrants are awarded medals (one gold, two silver and three bronze). There are cash prizes, both for the winners and their schools. There are bonus prizes of R100,000 for using Python, due to Shuttleworth's sponsorship. The medal-winners are given additional training from the Olympiad coaches and the USACO training programme. Four programmers are then selected from the six to represent South Africa at the International Olympiad in Informatics.

Famous quotes containing the word prizes:
“She prizes not such trifles as these are.
The gifts she looks from me are packed and locked
Up in my heart, which I have given already,
But not delivered.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
