If you are interested in participating as a student or team leader in this or future olympiads, please contact me at rongen @ astronomy.sg (without the spaces).

This page is for easy reference for those who intend to participate in any of the 3 major Astronomy Olympiads.

If there are people interested in participating, we may coordinate with the organisers of the Olympiad to send a delegation; however, this is contingent on there being a team that meets the criteria. For inquiries, please email rongen @ astronomy.sg (without the spaces).
