Problem of the Month (POM)

"Problem of the Month” (POM) is a free online competition in six different subjects that is open to everyone, regardless of what state or country they live in. The goal of the POM contest is to stimulate inquisitive minds and cultivate interest in science and math.

Winners of the POM will get prizes, will be accepted to SigmaCamp or SigmaWest without solving the Qualification Quiz (QQ), and will be awarded during the camp.
