A.5. This edition will not include an invitation for deputy leaders. Countries that have already made concrete arrangements, such as purchasing tickets, will have their deputy leader serve as a coordinator. Should a deputy leader lack the qualifications or willingness to fulfill this role, whether due to limited experience in mathematics or mathematical olympiads, or because they serve in an administrative, family, or non-academic capacity, they will be considered observers and will be required to pay the corresponding observer fees. A team can choose to not bring a Deputy Leader.

A.6. Participation in any activity, ceremony, or space of the event is strictly limited to registered participants, leaders, duly registered observers, and official event staff. No exceptions will be made for individuals outside these categories. 

A.7. Teams wishing to participate for the first time should send a solicitation for the Host Organization stating the intended team size through the email director.olimpiadas@uan.edu.co until September 20th, 2026. Since the Host Organization can receive only a limited number of teams, their applications will be confirmed or declined by September 25th, 2026.

A.8. The deadline to apply for observers is September 25th, 2026. The fee for each observer will be $850 USD for a shared room or $1,150 USD for a single room. An additional fee of $400 applies if a leader wishes to have a single room. Observer fees are to be paid on-site upon arrival, prior to room assignment. Credit card payments may be available subject to hotel confirmation.

A.12. The 2026 Perseverance Cup will be named after Mary Falk Losada, one of the driving forces behind the first Ibero-American Mathematical Olympiad held in Colombia and a recipient of multiple distinctions for her outstanding contributions to mathematical olympiads and mathematics education in Colombia and Latin America. She has served as a member and president of the World Federation of National Mathematics Competitions (WFNMC) and as editor of ZDM - Mathematics Education in the area of mathematics competitions.
