The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) does sponsor an annual
programming competition.  The top two teams from each region go on for
the international competition (back in 1984: U.S., Canada, England;
total of 27 or 28 teams).

A four-member team has four (or six?) hours to solve about eight
programming problems.  Check with your school's ACM office for info.
The format of the contest may change now, but I believe it's still
being held yearly.
