Competition date: January 17, 2027

Priority registration deadline: December 1, 2026

This January, join students across the country for a new mathematical challenge! OMEGA's AMM Local brings thoughtfully crafted problems, creative problem solving, and the AMM experience close to home with a nationwide competition for 8th–12th graders held simultaneously at 40+ sites.

Here's what to look forward to: 

  • Original problems from our creative team, led by Head Writer Evan Chen
  • Time to explore ideas, with an emphasis on creative thinking, problem solving, and clear explanations rather than speed
  • Hand-grading of all student work by expert graders, with partial credit for meaningful progress
  • Open registration, with no qualifying score requirements
  • Highly secure testing conditions to ensure the trustworthiness of competition results.

Top overall performers will be honored for their achievement, with select honorees in grades 10–12 receiving free entry into the 2027 American Masters of Mathematics national competition in Denver.

Is AMM Local right for you? You don’t need extensive competition experience or formal training in writing proofs to have a good experience at AMM Local. What you do need is a love of intriguing problems, the persistence to try idea after idea, and excitement at the prospect of thinking hard about math problems for three hours on a Sunday. AMM Local is a substantial step beyond routine school math. Before registering, please explore our Introduction to AMM-L document, try the example problems, and consider whether AMM Local feels both exciting and within reach to you. You don’t need to solve everything, but you're most likely to have a good experience at AMM Local if you can make progress on a few of the example problems.
