I went back and read the beginning of the articles more carefully.  The
contest I read about was the International Obfuscated C Code Contest.
It is run by Landon Noll of Amdahl and Larry Bassel of National
Semiconductor.  Both USENET and U.S.MAIL address were given to submit
entries to.  For the most recent contest, decwrl!amdahl!chongo was the
USENET address given, so apparently there is only one contest.
