Math-O-Vision Video Contest

Organization: Northeastern University

Program Overview

A national high school contest where students create short films that reveal the math in everyday life, art, and the world around them.

Math-O-Vision is a national short-film competition that challenges U.S. high school students to create original, up-to-four-minute videos that reveal the beauty, power, and presence of mathematics in the world. Rather than traditional problem solving, the contest focuses on storytelling, creativity, and visual communication—showing how math connects to art, nature, technology, music, and daily life. The competition is organized by Northeastern University, and students typically enter as individuals or teams, submitting their videos online. Submissions are judged on mathematical insight, creativity, production quality, and clarity of communication, with cash prizes and recognition for top entries. Participating helps students deepen their appreciation for mathematics, build skills in visual storytelling and media production, and strengthen portfolios for college applications, especially for STEM and creative disciplines.
