ELIGIBILITY:

Open to all students. Participation is free.

High school and university students of all grades and from all countries are invited to participate. We have three age categories:

Junior: 10th Grade and below (< 16 years)

Youth: 11th to 13th Grade (< 19 years)

Senior: 1st Year College/University and higher (or ≥ 19 years)

All participants receive the same set of problems, but the passing criteria vary by age group. You need curiosity, a drive to learn, pen and paper, and access to a computer. English reading comprehension is helpful for research problems.

Showcase your abilities and compete for cash prizes, certificates, and global recognition. The prizes are worth upwards of 1000 USD. Awards include:

1st, 2nd, 3rd Cash Prizes for each age category.

National Awards for top performers from each country.

Bronze, Silver, and Gold Honours for Finalists.

Special Honours for outstanding submissions.

Official Participation Certificates for all participants.

Points are awarded for correct steps and not just for your final answers and programs. They want you to describe your reasoning! See All Prizes and Awards.
