Maths Short Story Competition

The Young Mathematical Story Authors (YMSA) competition is the world's first annual international competition set up to encourage young mathematics learners (4-16 years old) from around the world to creatively embed their mathematics learning in a meaningful and engaging context through creating their own mathematical story picture books.

​This competition is organised by MathsThroughStories.org, and it has been running every year since 2019. Since then, the competition has received entries from around 4,000 students across over 260 schools in 23 countries.

The competition's social media hashtag is #YMSAMaths.

Entries to this competition are due by Fri 21st March 2025 : https://www.mathsthroughstories.org/competitions.html
