Abstract

The successful experience of organizing the Arithland competition for over a quarter of a century—and its impact as a promotional approach to mathematics for students, teachers, university students, professors, and the general public—alongside the consideration of mathematical problems that can be more accessible to individuals who are blind, led to the idea of launching a new competition titled Voiceland. In this article, we aim to introduce the goals and benefits of the Arithland competition and its method of organization, while also presenting a new version of this competition.
