Annual mathematics competition for female high school students in the United States and Canada
The Advantage Testing FoundationMath Prize for Girls, often referred to as The Math Prize for Girls, is an annual mathematics competition open to female high school students from the United States and Canada. The competition offers the world’s largest single monetary math prize in a math contest for young women. In 2017, the First-Place prize was $46,000 (split equally amongst the three-way tie for first) with another $9,000 divided among the remaining finalists.[1] Girls may win a maximum of $100,000[2] by participating in the competition over multiple years.[3] Organized each year by the Advantage Testing Foundation, the competition is considered to be the preeminent female math competition for young women in North America.[4][5]
The single-day annual contest is open to female high-school students in 12th grade or below, from the United States and Canada who have attained a qualifying score on the American Mathematics Competitions Exams, specifically the AMC 10 or AMC 12 given in February each year.[6] Up to 300 participants are then selected each year for the competition. Participants must complete 20 short-answer problems in geometry, algebra, trigonometry, and other math topics in 150 minutes. The exams are then reviewed by a panel of judges, who award cash prizes to the top-scoring participants.[7]
