A Global Stage for Young Mathematicians
The Komodo International Math Competition is a worldwide contest designed to challenge and inspire students through high-quality mathematical problems — celebrating analytical thinking, creativity, and resilience in young minds across more than 60 countries.
Why we built KOMODO
Two simple ideas — vision and mission — that guide every problem we write and every contest we host.
Our Vision
To inspire globally competitive, resilient, and adaptive problem-solvers through mathematical excellence — reaching every student, anywhere in the world, with access to a fair and rigorous competition.
Our Mission
To deliver a thoughtfully-crafted international math competition that develops not only technical skill, but also character, curiosity, and confidence — preparing young learners for the challenges of tomorrow.
Three pillars of KOMODO
Every part of the competition — from problem design to scoring — is built around these three commitments.
Cultivating Adaptability
We foster initiative, critical thinking, and confidence so students can address worldwide challenges with curiosity and clarity.
Strengthening Resilience
Through rigorous mathematical competition, we build perseverance, focus, and a strategic approach to problem-solving.
Promoting Holistic Excellence
We nurture integrity, discipline, and well-rounded personal growth — because mathematics is more than just numbers.
A truly international community
Open to all students, ages 8 to 18
Students compete in the category matching their age on the first Online Round date. Each level is designed to be appropriately challenging without being out of reach.
Age is calculated based on the date of the first Online Round — 19 September 2026.
