States or regions that have not participated in recent Olympiadas are invited to reinstate competitions or take part in another state’s Olympiada. I hope that there will be a new state competition and that you will welcome students from an adjoining state if there is no Olympiada in their own state or if a school from another state finds it more convenient.
