+─── Binary Golf Grand Prix 1 ───────────────────────────────────────────────//──
+
+Welcome to the Binary Golf Grand Prix! This is a challenge for people who like
+to craft tiny binaries.
+
+There have been a few CTF challenges involving binary golf, but it is sadly a
+dying art outside of the demoscene and some virus writing circles.
+
+Binary Golf is similar to Code Golf, where the purpose is to program something
+in as few instructions as possible. It takes it a step further and challenges
+people to create the smallest possible binary file as well.
+
+The goal of the Binary Golf Grand Prix is to challenge programmers to make the
+smallest possible binary that fits within certain constraints.

+─── The Challenge ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────//──
+
+The inaugural challenge of the BGGP is to create an Ambigram binary. Ambigrams
+are essentially calligraphy that is read differently or the same depending on
+how you look at it. In particular, we'll be focusing on "rotational" ambigrams,
+which are read the same when you rotate them 180 degrees.
+
+This challenge was inspired by @0xdade
+
+The binary you will craft will be the same executable when flipped backwards.
+
+Example:
+
+ $ xxd some.random.exe | head -n 1
+ 00000000: 4d5a 9000 0345 0000 0400 0000 ffff 0000 MZ...E..........
+
+The entire binary will be reversed, and the first byte, will be the last byte.
+
+ 4d5a 9000 0345 .... <-- reversed --> .... 4503 0090 5a4d
+
+ Disassembly (x86):
+
+ 45 inc ebp
+ 03 00 add eax,DWORD PTR [eax]
+ 90 nop
+ 5a pop edx
+ 4d dec ebp
+
+Scores will be calculated based on both the size of the executable, as well as
+the percentage of bytes executed when it is run.
+
+An easy solution would be to just have the binary end, and append the binary
+backwards at the end of the original file. Because of this, in order to qualify
+for entry, your binary must at a minimum execute > 50% of the bytes in your
+binary, and must execute past the halfway mark in your binary as well.
+
+─── File Formats ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────//──
+
+Any executable format will be accepted, and must run on an operating system or
+piece of hardware that can be physically or virtually run. Feel free to think
+far beyond the typical PE/ELF/Mach-o binary types, and work with something you
+feel you can express yourself best with. This includes ROMs, bootloaders,
+firmware or anything else that can execute on a processor.
+
+For a list of binary formats, check here!
+
+You must have a working copy that runs on your target system, and instructions
+for running the binary must be provided with your submission!
+
+─── tl;dr ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────//──
+
+Rules:
+
+ - Any executable binary format
+ - Any OS
+ - Any architecture
+ - Minimum should execute 50% of it's bytes
+ - Must execute within the mirrored section
+ - Must read the same forwards as it does backwards
+ - Must actually run on the target system
+
+Submissions:
+
+ - Submit the binary, source and instructions to run (preferably in a Git repo)
+ - Include a SHA256 hash of your file both forwards and backwards (should match)
+ - Extra credit: Include a write up/blog link describing your process
+
+Scoring:
+
+ - Size
+ - Percentage of bytes executed
+
+The challenge will run until Friday, August 28th 2020 @ 8:00 PM America/New_York
