The European Girls' Mathematical Olympiad is a mathematical olympiad for girls which started in 2012. It is similar to, and was inspired by, the China Girls Mathematical Olympiad. The European Girls' Mathematical Olympiad is an annual competition of 6 mathematical problems, for a maximum score of 7 points each, and the maximum total value of 42 points, organized in Europe for high school students, up to 20 years old, from 2012. The competition was born on the model of the China Girls' Mathematical Olympiad, to which not only teams of Chinese girls participate, but also teams from other countries. The first edition was held in Cambridge, UK, the second in Luxembourg. The third in 2014 was held in Antalya, in Turkey. 19 editions of 22 European countries took part in the editions carried out so far, for a total of 70 and 87 competitors. In addition to the European teams, teams from the US and Saudi Arabia were also invited. The competitors participate individually, even if the team is made up of four athletes. The competitors are selected through the results obtained in the mathematics Olympics and with the scores obtained in the annual concentrations that are generally held twice a year in Pisa. The best classified are awarded according to this criterion:
the first classified, for about 1/12 of the competitors receive a medal of gold
the following 1/6 of the general classification receive a silver medal
the subsequent 1/4 of the general classification receive a bronze medal
all those who have not received a medal but have scored the maximum points in at least one of the six problems receive an honorable mention.
