FYKOS – the Internet physics competition  

FYKOS is for all students from grammar schools (under 19 years) with an interest in physics. Participants get a set of problems six times during the school year. They have approximately one month to solve these problems and to send the answers, ideas, conclusions back to our address. Of course not all the problems have easy or straight forward solutions. Some of them are virtually unsolvable :) It is sometimes difficult to mark the ideas and answers, but we do so. Every solution get some points and at the end a list of the best participants is sorted.

KOMAL 

Every primary or secondary school student is eligible to participate in the competitions. Students in different grades might find the same problems but in most cases their work is evaluated within their age group, they compete with students of the same age only. Therefore, it is essential that the paper should indicate the 1 to 12 grade of the contestant in the current school year. The KöMaL contests are individual competitions, solutions produced by a group are not accepted. If two papers turn out to be practically identical, none of them will be marked.

Prague Physics Challenge  

Prague Physics Challenge (PPCh) is an international physics competition aimed at advanced high school and university students. The competition is organized remotely; there are sets of problems published on this website more-or-less periodically and contestants send us their solutions via e-mail. To view the current set, go to the last set of problems. After the deadline of a particular set, participants get their solutions back corrected and evaluated. The primary goal of PPCh is to offer you interesting and more complex physics problems than those usual in schools and universities. Problems have various difficulty (and corresponding maximum of points) in order to offer problem-solving experience to a wider variety of students interested in physics (we do not want to restrict anybody from solving our problems because of some limits of reached physical knowledge; on the contrary, our goal is to give a motivation to enrich the knowledge of competitors). On request, we can give you some hints to a particular problem for a cost of a points loss, but increasing chances of solving the problem.
