Not sure if anyone here is familiar with it, but Microsoft does a student tech competition called Imagine Cup. It’s for high school and college students who want to use technology to improve the world…whether they be game designers, programmers, graphic designers, film makers, photographers, etc. It’s a pretty amazing competition full of grand ideas. Aside from that, Imagine Cup is giving away $10,000 and trips to D.C. and Poland (for the Imagine Cup 2010 World championship) just for registering on their site. You don’t even have to compete…you can just win money! Pretty cool. Give it a look, find out more about Imagine Cup, and enter to win here: http://tr.im/zlm7 Sep 21
