Mission
The World Cube Association governs competitions for mechanical puzzles that are operated by twisting groups of pieces, commonly known as twisty puzzles. The most famous of these puzzles is the Rubiks Cube, invented by professor Rubik from Hungary. A selection of these puzzles are chosen as official events of the WCA.
Program accomplishments
- Our goals - The World Cube Association wants to bring opportunities for community membership and leadership to young people around the world through increasing the accessibility of our twisty puzzle competitions. The World Cube Association has had over 200,000 unique competitors across 158 different regions and we are not planning on slowing down anytime soon The cubing community has been growing steadily since our founding in 2004 and we want to encourage this to continue into the future by increasing the accessibility of competitions to new areas. In the future, we hope to support our community even more through collaborations and outreach to those who care about puzzles. Every two years, we sanction the competition that ultimately determines the world champion. These events require extremely careful planning by a number of volunteers, as well as a large financial commitment to reserve the venue and make necessary preparations.Expenses $333,553 · revenue $721,545
