What Is Balkan Mathematical Olympiad?
The Balkan Mathematical Olympiad is MASSEE's annual, in-person national-team competition for mathematically gifted high-school students and an important preparation route for the International Mathematical Olympiad. The completed 43rd BMO ran May 3-8, 2026 in Thessaloniki, Greece. The 2027 host is Korçë, Albania, but exact dates and national selection calendars are not yet published.
Students cannot apply to MASSEE or the host directly. Each of the eleven member countries—Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Greece, North Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia, and Turkey—selects and sends a delegation of up to six high-school students, each no older than 20, plus a leader and deputy leader. Hosts may invite nonmember guest teams, but those students participate unofficially. A country's local olympiad body controls selection, eligibility evidence, travel, and internal deadlines.
