    Astronomy Olympiads

    This page is for easy reference for those who intend to participate in any of the 3 major International 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 contact @ astronomy.sg (without the spaces).
