You MUST include the following two words (separated by a space) in the subject of your email, otherwise the email will be rejected:

    IOCCC YYYY

IMPORTANT: The YYYY in the above email address MUST be changed to the current 4 digit year!

+

IMPORTANT: Do NOT immediately proceed nor follow the two words with punctuation. For example, neither IOCCC 2025. NOR Re:IOCCC 2025 will work in the subject line because there are non-whitespace characters next to the 2 words! Instead use IOCCC 2025 question. or Re: IOCCC 2025 or just IOCCC 2025 on the subject line.
