Russian Open School Astronomical Olympiad by Correspondence (ROSAOC) – is an annual international competition for secondary school students in astronomy.
Olympiad is being conducted in one theoretical stage by correspondence.
The languages of the Olympiad are English and Russian..
The International Astronomy Olympiad and Astrophysics is the highest level astronomy and associated science competition for high school students from across the world, with teams from over fifty nations presently competing.
IOAA 2022 will take place from August 14 to 12, 2022 (Expected)..
National Standard Examination in Junior Science (NSEJS) conducted by IAPT is the first stage for the International Astronomy Olympiad in the junior category.
Indian students of Class X or lower as of November 30, 2022, born between 1 January 2008 and 31 December 2009 are eligible for the test..
The USA team was selected by volunteer members of the USAAAO (USA Astronomy and Astrophysics Organization) based on candidates' results in a selection exam.
The next IOAA will take place in Brazil in August 2024..
Stage 1: National Standard Examination in Astronomy (NSEA).
Stage 2: Indian National Astronomy Olympiad (INAO).
Stage 3: Orientation cum Selection Camp in Astronomy (OCSC).
Stage 4: Pre-departure Training Camp (PDT) for IOAA..
Students first need to identify eligibility for either junior or senior category. There will be three rounds in the National Astronomy Olympiad (NAO):
First Round (Entrance/Province Level)

It is also one of the official Olympiad competitions.
The British Astronomy and Astrophysics Olympiad is a newer project that has formed within the BPhO trust. It was launched in 2015 and offers schools across the UK a series of competition papers that focus on astronomy and astrophysics.
The International Astronomy Olympiad is held every year in one of the Olympiad member-states astronomical centers from September to December. Schoolchildren of different ages participate in the Olympiad. Get all the IAO Previous Year's Question Papers here.

Stage 5: International Olympiad in Astronomy and Astrophysics (that is IOAA).
The main aim of the National Astronomy Olympiad Program is to encourage candidates with good foundations in Mathematics and Physics and an interest in Astronomy to pursue further studies in this field. It involves a five-stage process leading to the participation of the Indian team in the International Olympiad in Astronomy and Astrophysics (IOAA).
