Cowbell Mathematics Competition is a yearly math contest presented by Cowbell. It is endorsed by the Federal Ministry of Education and supported by the National Examination Council (NECO), the official examination body for Nigerian secondary schools.

Initially consisting of two stages—the Qualifying Examination (a written test in designated centers nationwide) and the TV quiz competition—in 2016, Cowbell unified them under one name: Cowbellpedia. Therefore, the terms Cowbell Mathematics Competition and Cowbellpedia can be used interchangeably, eliminating confusion.

The objective has been and continues to be recognizing and rewarding excellence in mathematics education. The program is implemented in both public and private schools, catering to students aged eight to eighteen. In 2018, the top prize was raised from 1 million to 2 million Nigerian Naira, commemorating the 20th anniversary of the Mathematics competition.

After schools complete their registration on www.cowbellpedia.ng, eligible students participate in a national qualifying examination administered by NECO at designated centers. The results are released online on June 1, coinciding with World Milk Day. The top 108 students (54 junior and 54 senior) and their mathematics teachers gather in Lagos for the ultimate prize – the title of Cowbellpedia Future Inventor, awarded to the Best Mathematics Student of the Year.

To enter the competition, all schools must complete their registration at: http://www.cowbell.ng/en/cowbellpedia/, all the eligible students are expected to write a national qualifying examination, administered by NECO, at designated centers closest to them.
