Balkan Mathematical Olympiad

The UK has competed as a guest team in the Balkan Mathematical Olympiad since 2005, with the 2008 and 2015 entries being as joint guest teams with Ireland.

The UK IMO programme views the Balkan MO as an opportunity to increase the number of students able to benefit from attending a worthwhile international competition. Students who have attended the IMO or a previous Balkan MO are not eligible. Students who have attended RMM in Year N will not be prioritised for a place on the Balkan MO team in Year N. Balkan MO eligibility is unrelated to participation in EGMO. The team for this competition is generally selected at the end of the Trinity olympiad training and selection camp, along with the squad of about ten from which the IMO team and reserve will be selected.

Teams consist of six people; the UK does not normally name a reserve. There is a single paper of four questions, each marked out of 10 points. For past papers, see Art of Problem Solving.
