BMO entry fees (29 September 2009)

With immediate effect, the BMO1 entry fee will be £16.50 and the BMO2 fee will be £22.00. This is a 10% increase, the first for three years, and is exactly in line with the price increases for UKMT Maths Challenges competitions. Entry fees are waived for candidates eligible to represent the UK at the IMO and reaching the cut-off scores in qualifying competitions (UK SMC for entry to BMO1, BMO1 for entry to BMO2). Schools should contact the Maths Challenges Office to enter candidates who do not qualify for waiver of fees.
