The Young Mathematical Story Author (YMSA) competition is the world's first annual international competition set up to encourage young mathematics learners (8-15 years old) from around the world to embed their mathematics learning in a meaningful and engaging context through creating their own mathematical story picture book. This competition is organised by MathsThroughStories.org, and it has been running every year since 2019.
The winner in each of the two entry categories will receive an award of £100, and their school will also receive £100. (In case of homeschooled children, if they won, they would get £100 and their nominated local public library would too get £100.)
The winner will also have their own profile, their school's profile and their winning entry featured on the MathsThroughStories.org website. (Since its launch in March 2017, the website has been visited over 830,000 times by more than 210,000 teachers and parents from almost 210 countries around the world.)
