The ranking of participants in the International Origami Olympiad is a title list that reflects the achievements and mastery of participants over the years of IOIO. This ranking is based on the results of competitions held within the framework of the olympiad and takes into account both individual and team performances.

The main parameters for forming the ranking are the medals and titles for individual and team victories obtained during the International Internet Olympiads on origami throughout their existence.

This ranking is an important indicator of the development of IOIO and contributes to the popularization of participants on the international stage.

The ranking is formed based on the results of voting by the participants of the olympiad, making it a reflection of the community's opinion of origami enthusiasts.

Each model in the ranking not only demonstrates the technical skills and artistic vision of the author but also tells its unique story. The models included in this list were selected based on their complexity, aesthetics, and innovative approach, making them role models for future origami masters.

The ranking serves as inspiration for participants and spectators, encouraging them to explore new techniques and approaches in creating origami. It highlights the diversity of styles and directions in origami, from traditional to modern interpretations.

The ranking of the most complex models used in IOIO olympiads, which were completed by the fewest participants. This ranking emphasizes the uniqueness and technical complexity of the models, which have become a true challenge for origami artists, requiring the highest degree of technical skill and patience.

The models included in the ranking can be particularly appealing during preparations for future origami competitions, allowing participants to learn from examples of complex models and be ready for tasks of any difficulty.
