[🔒CENTRAL LUZON CTF 2026: DECODE. DEFEND. RISE.🔒]
Curious about cybersecurity, hacking, or digital defense? Want to try your hand at solving puzzles and finding hidden vulnerabilities? This is your sign to get started!
The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) Regional Office 3, together with Holy Angel University (HAU), invites you to the inaugural Central Luzon Capture The Flag (CLCTF) 2026.

📍 Platform: Online (via online video teleconference)
⏰ Registration Period: June 1 – June 18, 2026

WHAT IS A CTF?
Think of it as a digital scavenger hunt. You and your team will get a list of computer and web challenges. When you solve a puzzle, you find a hidden piece of text called a "flag" (it looks like this: CLCTF{example_text}). You paste that flag into the platform to get points. The more puzzles you solve, the higher your score! There are no eliminations, so you can play and learn for the full 4 hours.
👥 WHO CAN JOIN? (ELIGIBILITY)
Students: You just need to be officially enrolled for school year 2025–2026 or 2026–2027. This is open to Senior High School (SHS), College (HEI), or Tech-Voc (TVI) students in Region 3 (Central Luzon).
Team Size: You need a team of exactly four (4) members from the same school. Choose one member to be your Team Captain to handle registration.
School Limit: Each school can send up to two (2) teams. Extra teams go on a waiting list.
📋 WHAT YOU NEED TO REGISTER
Your Team Captain will sign up the group and upload:
The completed Team Registration Form.
Proof of school enrollment for all 4 members (Student ID, Certificate of Enrollment / Enrollment Form, Certificate of Registration / Registration Form, Notice of Admission).
💻 WHAT TO PREPARE (TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS)
Each team member needs their own basic setup from home or school:
Computer: A working laptop or desktop that can run a standard web browser (like Chrome or Firefox).
Camera & Audio: A working we**am and microphone/headset. Webcams must stay turned on during the event so organizers can keep things fair.
Internet: A stable internet connection. It is highly recommended to have your phone's mobile data ready as a backup hotspot just in case your main internet drops.
⚠️ RULES TO REMEMBER
Play Fair: This is a test of honesty. You cannot use AI tools, chatGPT, automated automated solvers, or ask outside coaches/teachers for help during the game. Sharing answers with other teams will get your team disqualified.
Show Up Early: The video call opens at 8:00 AM PHT on June 23 for a tech check. The actual event starts with a guide and walkthrough at 9:30 AM to show you exactly how to use the platform before the game begins.
Don't be intimidated—every expert started as a beginner. Gather three of your classmates, sign up, and find your very first flag!
