Imagine Cup!!!! Microsoft 2017 Challenge!!!! by iihtNigeria: 12:42pm On Nov 19, 2016
Hello my amiable readers and followers,

I trust your weekend is going well. Am pretty sure your wondering what does this headline mean? Well let me dash you the good news which i have been mandated by Microsoft to share to you at all costs.......

The IMAGINE CUP, is a yearly event organized by Microsoft to bring programmers together and eventually make them a part of the Microsoft team worldwide and the means to do this is actually at your finger tips with the aid of IIHT Technologies, How can we help you? Very simple!!! You will find under-listed the requirements to be part of this interesting program:

Round 1 – National Finals/Online Finals

If the country or region your team competes in holds a National Final for the Competition, Round 1 will be governed by your national competition rules and those rules may be structured differently. Please make sure to review your national competition rules (if applicable) for a list of materials your Team is required to submit in addition to those requirements listed here.
In many National Finals you’ll be invited to deliver the following materials:
1. Live Presentation of your project to a panel of judges at the National Final. This presentation should explain your project and your team: Who your team is; what your project does; who your project is for; and how you will bring your project to market.
2. Software usable by the judges in a hands-on evaluation.
3. Software Instructions document explaining how to use your software.

OR

If there is no National Final in your team’s country, you may choose to compete in the Online Finals which are run through compete.imagine.microsoft.com. For the Online Finals, you are required to submit the following materials:
1. Project Proposal to compete against other students from around the world in the Online Finals. This should be a Microsoft Word or PDF document no longer than ten pages, or a PowerPoint presentation no longer than twenty slides, which explains your project and your team: Who your team is; what your project does; who your project is for; and how you will bring your project to market.
2. Presentation Video
3. Software usable by the judges.
4. Software Instructions document explaining how to use your software.

Please note that:

For both the National and Online Finals, requirements for the live presentation, project proposal, software, and instructions all appear later in these rules in the “Content and Technical Requirements” section.
