The Obscure C competition is back at http://www.ioccc.org/

The Competition is open to the 12/Jan/2012. The aim of the competition is:

To write the most Obscure/Obfuscated C program under the rules at http://www.ioccc.org/2011/rules.txt.
To show the importance of programming style, in an ironic way.
To stress C compilers with unusual code.
To illustrate some of the subtleties of the C language.
To provide a safe forum for poor C code. :-)

Even if you are not a C programmer, it is worth looking at some past entries at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Obfuscated_C_Code_Contest
