About
Running for the first time in 2020, the New Zealand Online Mathematical Olympiad is the largest mathematical Olympiad in New Zealand. The inaugural competition took place on Saturday 9th May 2020, from 2:00pm to 4:15pm NZT. Students had 2 hours to attempt 10 problems.
The competition is targeted at capable New Zealand students in Years 8 to 11. There are two divisions: the Junior Division for Year 8 and 9 students; and the Intermediate Division for Year 10 and 11 students. Younger students may enter the Junior Division, but may find it challenging. Students from other countries are may also participate, but compete separately to New Zealand students.
As a mathematical Olympiad, students are expected to fully justify their answers and write proofs. The questions are designed to be accessible and no special preparation is needed, though students may want to try the sample/past papers. A team of highly qualified markers assess students' work.
Goals
Goals
The goals of the NZOMO are threefold:
to enrich students' experience of mathematics by raising interesting questions of a nature not often seen in school classrooms;
to promote mathematical Olympiads as an activity; and
to help students understand and appreciate the concept of mathematical proof.
Registration
Registration
Students who wish to participate must register individually. For more information, see the registration page.
Registration for the 2020 event has closed. If we decide to run the NZOMO again in 2021, it will be announced on this website and we will aim to have registrations open for at least a month before the competition date.
Schools promoting the NZOMO to students do not need to any administrative work around registrations.

We delighted that with all marking (preliminary and checking) completed – ahead of schedule too – we are in a position to announce results.
A news release, a list of top students in each division, a list of top schools, statistics, and more information is available on the results page.
Students will receive an email with their individual results, award, and certificate. If you have checked your Junk/Spam/Promotions folder and still have not received such an email by Tuesday the 2nd of June, you may write to nzomo.org@gmail.com and we will send you your results.
If schools would like the results and/or certificates for their school, please get a teacher to email nzomo.org@gmail.com using an email address listed on the school website - this is so that we can verify results are not being sent to the wrong people.
Official Solutions and Commentary Released!
Official Solutions and Commentary Released!
Sunday 17th May
Official Solutions and Commentary have been released for both divisions of the 2020 NZOMO. Registered students who submitted work through the Google Form should have received an email with a link to the file for their division. This was sent to the email address put on the Google Form. If you cannot find the email in your inbox, check your Junk/Spam folder as well (and move the message out of Junk/Spam).
If you still cannot find the email, there are a few possibilities - you might not have submitted your work through the Google Form; you might have entered your email address incorrectly; or your email system may have over-eagerly rejected the message as spam. If you registered but did not get the message, send an email to nzomo.org@gmail.com with your name, year level, school, and participant ID and we will send the message to you - we will also update our records so you can get your results in due course.
Teachers who would like the Official Solutions and Commentary are welcome to email us (nzomo.org@gmail.com) using their school email address, preferably listed on their school website, and we will send you the files (and also add you to our mailing list).
On another note, the first round of marking is well underway, and we are on track to have results released around early June.
