The first IMO was held in Romania in 1959.
The 66th edition of the International Mathematical Olympiad will be held in 2025 in Sunshine Coast, Australia.
Students from more than 100 countries participate. Every country includes six students, one team leader, one deputy leader and observers.
Awards are given to approximately the top-scoring 50% of the individual contestants.
The selection process for the IMO varies greatly by country.
The participants are ranked based on their individual scores. The cutoffs (minimum scores required to receive a gold, silver, or bronze medal respectively) are then chosen so that the numbers of gold, silver and bronze medals awarded are approximately in the ratios 1:2:3.
Participants who do not win a medal but who score 7 points on at least one problem receive an honorable mention.
