Due Today! Imagine Cup US Software Design Submissions

Diane and I have been working around the clock to get people excited about Imagine Cup and the deadline is finally here.  If you’re working on a Qualifying Round submission or have a great idea, you have until tonight January 22nd at 11:59 pm PST.  You can submit your qualifying round entry here.

Just to remind you what you are playing for:

• Every team to submit in the qualifying round is automatically advanced to the National Semi-Finals!

  Every competitor will be getting an Xbox 360 game. (Any US student who competes in Round 1 of any Category will receive their choice of an Xbox360 Game – Fable II, Gears of War, or Project Gotham Racing 4.) 

• The top 15 entries from the National Semi-finals will have the opportunity to travel to Cambridge, MA (all expenses paid) and compete in the national finals.

• In addition, the top 3 teams will walk away with fantastic prizes.

• The top team at the national finals will receive an all expense paid trip to Cairo, Egypt to compete in the Imagine Cup worldwide finals for up to $25,000 in prizes and a spot in the Imagine Cup Innovation Accelerator.
