BEFORE YOU SIGN UP

Registration

Please read the full rules first — this page covers eligibility, travel, and how to actually register.

Eligibility

You can take part if you were born after January 1, 2011, or if you're registered in a grade lower than 9th within the Romanian school system. Problem difficulty sits around the level of junior team-selection tests and regional olympiads — take a look at last year's problems before you commit.

i

It isn't a strict requirement, but this contest will be most relevant if you've already won a medal or similar distinction at a national olympiad.

Transport (national participants)

Arrange your own transport with your parents, or use our pickup service from Gara de Nord, where volunteers will meet arriving participants and split them across two shuttle groups. Shuttle times will be announced closer to the event.

Accommodation (national participants)

Once again this year, we're able to offer on-site accommodation at the Potigrafu complex, with all meals covered for the duration of the contest — see the full schedule. Sports and activities also run at the complex outside contest hours. More details are coming soon.

Participation Limits (international delegations)

We cap how many teams any one delegation can send:

  • Up to three teams for countries in or near the Balkan Peninsula — Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Greece, Hungary, Montenegro, Moldova, North Macedonia, Serbia, Slovenia, Türkiye, Ukraine.
  • Up to two teams for every other country.
