Retrochallenge is a friendly competition where people spend a month working on a retrocomputing project and posting updates about their progress. For most entrants it's more about working on something fun and enjoying the enthusiasm of the other entrants / the drive of the event, rather than anything seriously competitive.
I entered the last one but didn't get very far. Wasn't prepared to enter this one, unfortunately, but I intend to try again in the future. I like retro-stuff because I can focus on one particular machine, with no complex libraries and APIs, no cross-compatibility issues to worry about, etc... All the fun of programming without the fuss of practicality.
