Junior Mathematics Competition - The University of Otago

The 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.
