Overview
The Mathematical Olympiad of Central America and the Caribbean (OMCC, Olimpiada Matematica de Centroamerica y el Caribe) is an annual competition for young students from countries of the region. The first edition was in 1999 in Costa Rica, with 10 delegations. This page relies on the Mexican national olympiad's description of the contest, not on the contest's own regulations, which could not be opened.
Who can take part
Since 2001 the rule has been the same for all countries: students must not turn 17 before or during the year of the contest, according to the Mexican organiser. Mexico adds its own condition on age so that students can still compete in its national contest at least once more.
Each country can send at most three students and two teachers.
In Mexico, a student qualifies by being pre-selected in the national contest and finishing in the top three in the national training selection.
When it is held
The Mexican page says the OMCC is organised around June each year, and also that the contest is held in July. Confirm the date with your national olympiad.
How to take part
Entry is through your country's national mathematical olympiad. The national organiser selects the team.
Preparation tips
Practise olympiad-style problems in number theory, algebra, geometry and combinatorics.
Solve past OMCC papers from the national olympiad sites of participating countries.
Note
Confirm the age limit, dates and host with your national olympiad for the current year.
