In Far East Russian town Vladivostok the 2^nd Asian-Pacific Astronomy Olympiad (II APAO) has been held on December 4-11, 2006. APAO is a relatively new Olympiad which was founded in the spring 2005 an international regional programme in line with the International Astronomy Olympiad.

Schedule of preparing the Olympiad was very intensive, the preliminary documents (1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd announcements, the last information before the Olympiad) were regulary published just after their issuing.

46 students from 8 teams took part in the Olympiad:

CN		China - 9 students
FE		Far East (Russia, east-asian part, towns: Vladivostok, Yakutsk) - 5 students
ID		Indonesia - 4 students
KR		Korea - 8 students

SB		Siberia (Russia, central-asian part, towns: Novosibirsk, Ulan-Ude) - 7 students
TH		Thailand - 3 students
UR		East Ural (Russia, west-asian part, town: Yekaterinburg) - 5 students

That's a pity teams of Armenia and Singapore that planned to participate did not find such a possibility.

The programme published at the last information before the Olympiad was totally fulfilled:
