History
📜 Brief History & Background
The Launch (2021): The competition was created and launched by Bright Education Consultant (established in 2018). The inaugural contest took place between October 2021 and January 2022, drawing around 3,000 local students from public and private schools. [1]
The Evolution (2022–Present): By its second year (AMC 2022), it became the largest contest of its kind in Cambodia. Over the years, the competition went fully international. By the AMC 2025/2026 editions, it expanded heavily, attracting over 6,500 students from more than 16 to 25 countries (including the US, China, South Korea, and various Southeast Asian nations). [1, 2, 3]
Purpose: Bright Education created the contest to build mathematical excellence, improve critical thinking, and give Cambodian students a platform to test their skills globally. Top performers have historically won sponsorships and fully funded trips to represent Cambodia at global events like the Copernicus Math Olympiad in the United States.
