Foundation and purpose:
Informatics is the European word for Computer Science. The Australian Informatics Olympiad Committee officially formed on Sat. 7 Feb 1998 with a view to

organising an National Australian Informatics Competition (planned first for late 1998), and

selecting Australian secondary students for the International Olympiad in Informatics (planned first for 1999).
Of the six current international science olympiads, the International Olympiad in Informatics is the third youngest and the second largest, the only larger one being the oldest one, Mathematics.

Note: This probabilistic footy-tipping competition is free to enter and has a total of $512 in prizes for the top 10 secondary students, and it is usually no great disadvantage to start late.
