Maybe there is little some general lack of information. I am not even an ICGA
member, so this is without *any* warranty.

There are three events that are to happen at the same time, WCCC , the Computer
Olympiad and the Conference.

Here are some informations for the current year:

the WCCC - http://www.cs.biu.ac.il/games/

the Olympiad - http://www.cs.unimaas.nl/olympiad2004/

the conference - http://www.ru.is/cg2004/default.asp?Page=Notepad&ID=5

As far as I understand, there is usually a local organisator who organizes local
sponsorship needed to make it happen etc., while the ICGA takes care of general
organisational questions - but this is partly speculation.

You probably can't get this organized without a university IMHO. In case you are
serious it should be a good idea to contact ICGA for more information.
