New Zealand Mathematical OlympiadThe New Zealand Mathematical Olympiad (NZMO) consists of two rounds: Round One (the NZMO1): A take home exam (a set of 8 problems), which lasts approximately 2 weeks, starting in June. Participation in the NZMO1 is open to any New Zealand student. More detailed instructions and general information can be found in the regulations. There is no need to pre-register for the NZMO1. To participate simply download the problems from this website once they are released and submit your solutions and contact details through the online form before the deadline. Round Two (the NZMO2): A three hour exam in August or September. Participation in the NZMO2 is by invitation only, based on the results of the NZMO1. Awards for the NZMO (gold/silver/bronze/honourable mention) will be made based on the results of the NZMO2. Scores will not be announced for either round. Participants in the NZMO1 will only receive an indication of whether they have been invited to participate in the NZMO2; participants in the NZMO2 will just be told the level of their award, if any. In addition, the results of both rounds of the NZMO will be used to select about 25 students to participate the following year in: January NZMOC Training Camp, to be held in January Female and Non-Binary Camp, to be held in April

Auckland Mathematical OlympiadThe Auckland Mathematical Olympiad is hosted by the Department of Mathematics at the University of Auckland. The aims of this Olympiad are to foster interest in Mathematics, and to encourage young people who attend schools in Auckland region with an opportunity to exhibit their problem solving skills by meeting various challenges put to them by mathematicians. There are ten problems in the AMO. The first five questions are aimed at years 9 to 11 (juniors), while the second five questions are aimed at years 12 to 13 (seniors). However, all ages are encouraged to attempt as many questions as possible.

Junior Mathematics Competition - The University of OtagoThe University of Otago Junior Mathematics Competition is for students in years 9 to 11 (forms 3 to 5). It was initiated in 1985 by Professor Derek Holton of the University of Otago Mathematics and Statistics Department, shortly after his appointment. The competition is administered by a manager from within the Department. Other members of the Department help by writing questions, marking them, and determining the winners. Anyone who is enrolled in years 9 to 11 in a New Zealand school in a particular year is eligible to enter the competition for that year.
