We are pleased to announce that both HarperCollins and Charlesbridge have officially renewed their sponsorship of our Young Mathematical Story Author (YMSA) competition.
The 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 its first competition was held in 2019.
For the past two years, HarperCollins and Charlesbridge have sponsored the Stuart J. Murphy Award (8-11 year olds category) and the Cindy Neuschwander Award (12-15 year olds category) respectively. For both awards, the winners get £100 cash prize each and their schools also get another £100 cash prize each.
HarperCollins is the publisher of MathStart, the world’s largest mathematical stories series authored by a single author (Stuart J. Murphy), and Charlesbridge the publisher of Cindy Neuschwander’s very successful Sir Cumference series.
