Entry information reviewed 23 September 2026. An unknown field is not an open invitation. Confirm it with the organiser before applying.

PRINCIPAL PATHWAY

Preliminary selection → training

Followed by national training and final team selection where applicable.

Organisers

Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education (HKAGE), Education Bureau and the IMO Hong Kong Committee.

Entry route

International Mathematical Olympiad Hong Kong Preliminary Selection Contest → training arrangements and subsequent team selection.

How to enter

Follow HKAGE’s annual notice. In 2026 it provided school and student submission routes, both requiring the principal’s signature and school stamp. This is the named IMO preliminary-selection contest, not any unrelated competition bearing “Hong Kong” or “IMO” in its title. The 2026 preliminary has finished. Watch for the next annual notice.

For cross-border schooling, home education or national-team eligibility, read the shared eligibility guide and obtain the national organiser’s ruling.

Past papers and solutions

HKAGE’s annual preliminary-selection page contains earlier question papers and suggested solutions. The question files are bilingual and the listed solutions are in English. Check the year in the archive row rather than assuming every file belongs to the page’s headline year.

Previous results

HKAGE competition result notice covers the domestic programme. For international appearances, medals and contestant records, use Hong Kong in the official IMO archive. A national-round award and an IMO medal describe different achievements.
