OM Association, Inc.

OM Association, Inc.

OM Association, Inc. (OMAI), a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation, was formed in 1982 by principals of the Olympics of the Mind program, the predecessor organization to Odyssey of the Mind (OotM).[1] It severed its relationship with Odyssey of the Mind in 1999, and legally absorbed Destination ImagiNation during the 2000/2001 season.[2][3]

Odyssey of the Mind and OM Association, Inc. agreed to both abandon the use of the initials "OM" in a legal settlement. The corporation now operates under the name Destination ImagiNation.[4] Information about OMAI's purpose and program is best understood by referring to Odyssey of the Mind for the period prior to 2000, and Destination ImagiNation for the period thereafter.

Competitive Challenges

The challenges offered by OMAI include those purchased from Creative Competitions, Inc. for use in Odyssey of the Mind in the program years 1982/1983 through 1997/1998, and those offered under the corporation's new name Destination ImagiNation in the program years 1999/2000 through the present. In 1998/99, OMAI offered a program independent of Creative Competitions, Inc. under the name Odyssey of the Mind but which is nonetheless not listed on the Odyssey of the Mind web site[5]. The challenges were[6]
