Digital Competition - SPARK 2026

• Join us in the fight against SPARK!
• In GSA's boardroom sits SPARK - a decades-old blade server, entombed forever in acrylic to be displayed as a proud reminder of GSA's journey.

• Compete to win prizes!
• Compete with other students in a race to shut SPARK down before it finds a way to dominate every electronic trading market in the world.

For 21 days (23rd of November until the 13th of December) a range of exciting daily prizes will be on offer to those brave enough to take on SPARK in a series of fiendishly difficult challenges.

• The contestant deemed to have been most instrumental in the fight against SPARK will also be eligible to win a grand prize.
• Sign up for SPARK today to prepare for the fight!
