The China Girls' Mathematical Olympiad ( CGMO ) is a math competition with a proof -based format similar to the International Mathematical Olympiad . The competition is organized by the Chinese Mathematical Society . Owing to the fact that girls are outnumbered by boys in mathematical competitions, this competition was created specifically for girls. The aim of the CGMO is to encourage more girls to study mathematics and to foster friendship. It was originally organized in 2002 for teams of girls representing different regions within China . The Chinese organizers decided to invite other nations to send teams of girls from their countries. The Philippines has participated since the first edition. Russia has participated at least since 2004. The United States participated in 2007–2012. Singapore has also participated.
6-512: The CGMO is held in mid-August and is hosted by a high school every year. Apart from the mathematical competition, girls also have a chance to learn aerobics and perform on stage. The CGMO has inspired the creation of the European Girls' Mathematical Olympiad . Each team consists of four high school female students. The competition is held on two consecutive mornings from 8:00 to 12:00. The contestants solve 4 problems on each day and each problem
12-497: A medal are as follows: The individuals with the most medals and appearances at the EGMO can be found on the "EGMO: Hall of Fame" section of the website. There have been 28 perfect scores (USA - 8, Russia, China - 4 each, Ukraine - 3, Serbia, Turkey - 2 each, UK, Australia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Israel - 1 each) in the first 13 editions of the competition. Several international Olympiad competitions aimed at girls were launched, inspired by
18-587: Is a mathematical olympiad for girls which started in 2012, and is held in April each year. It was inspired by the China Girls Mathematical Olympiad (CGMO). Although the competition is held in Europe, it is open to female participants from all over the world, and is considered the most prestigious mathematics competition for girls. In recent years, participants from around 55 countries have been invited to
24-629: Is worth 15 points. There are gold, silver and bronze prizes for individual contestants and a best team award. Around 15 highest scoring girls are qualified to participate in the Chinese Mathematical Olympiad .

30-533: The competition. The competition is similar in style to the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), with two papers, each consisting of three problems to be solved in 4.5 hours, taken on consecutive days. Participating countries send teams consisting of four female mathematicians below the age of 20 who are not enrolled at a university. Each of the six problems are marked out of 7, making the maximum possible score 42 points. The first edition
36-791: Was held in Cambridge , UK. Since then, 11 other countries in Europe have organized the EGMO. The number of participating countries have grown from 19 in the first edition to 57 in the eleventh edition, and the number of contestants from 61 in the first edition to 226 in the eleventh edition. The competitors participate as a team of 4 under the national flag but the contest itself is individual. The selection process varies between countries, but it often involves national Mathematical Olympiads and other Team Selection Tests (TSTs), which become progressively more selective. Medals are awarded according to this criterion: [REDACTED] China [REDACTED] United States The 62 countries that have won
