I have developed an algorithm/software that does a specific task. I want to let the algorithm compete in an academic competition, where the code is run on a password protected server on a secret test set by another researcher. I will describe my research vaguely in the few lines that each researcher must submit about their work to be able to compete.
Will any of this destroy my chances of acquiring a patent for the algorithm afterwards?

I am not familiar with details of UK patent laws, however, here in the US, you would probably be risking your right to obtain a patent. According to 35 USC 102(a)(1), one can obtain a patent UNLESS.... it has been in public use before filing a patent application.......In the US, there is a one (1) year grace period, that is, if you file your patent application within one (1) year of the public use, you can still obtain a US patent, but I do not believe that that is the case in other countries where you would seek patents from those countries.
