Microsoft Imagine Cup Challenge
Imagine Cup is an
international competition among students of all disciplines that provides
opportunities for students to team up and use their creativity, passion and
knowledge of technology to create applications, games and integrate solution
that can change our life in more efficient and effective way.

sponsored and hosted by Microsoft Corporation. It’s an opportunity for young
technologists to resolve world’s toughest challenges. The Imagine Cup challenge
is organized every year with different themes. With this challenge you get a
chance to meet new people, learn better skills, get involved in next level of
games and apps and win cash, prizes.
The
system is basically the same for all challenges; your entry will be reviewed by
a team of judges each of whom will score it on a number of different criteria,
eventually generating a score from 0 to 100. You can review the specific
criteria for the competition you have entered in the Official Rules. If you
don’t cover one of the criteria, you will get a 0 for that section, and that
will affect your overall score. The best way to get as many points as possible
is to cover every single one of the judging criteria.
