The competition problems were conducted using a self-built platform utilizing open source tools (GitHub, Online Judge, etc.), and participants coded in a language of their choice among C/C++, Python, and Java. Participants devoted three hours to solving problems for the Sumong Cup.

In this competition, one winner was selected from each grade, totaling four winners, each receiving a cash prize. Hong Jeonghun, a senior majoring in Computer Science who won first place in the senior category, said, "It is regrettable that I can no longer participate in competitions as I am about to graduate, but I hope the competition continues so many people can challenge themselves." He added, "I believe opportunities like this will inspire more people and greatly help in developing their skills."
