If you study in school and believe you can win a medal in the IMO, IOI, IChO, or IPhO, you should consider moving to Uzbekistan. Starting this year, the monetary rewards for medal winners from Uzbekistan have increased five times. Now, you will receive approximately:
- $29,000 for a bronze medal
- $43,500 for a silver medal
- $72,500 for a gold medal
Note that: You must study in Uzbekistan to be eligible for the prize. If you win a medal in different editions of the same Olympiad or multiple Olympiads in one year, you will be rewarded for each medal. The amount is not fixed, increases with inflation, and is tax-free. Also, it is probably easier to pass all selection stages and qualify for an Olympiad here rather than in your country.
It is not clickbait—consider moving to Uzbekistan. Other reasons: easy to relocate, Uzbekistan is visa-free for many countries (just look at the welcoming index); a safe country; low cost of living; delicious food; and many other benefits.
