Yet More Hull Imagine Cup Success

Last snow picture for a while. actually taken on Friday on the way to fetch the Fish and Chips (note capitals) for tea.

The Imagine Cup is a programming competition run by Microsoft. We at Hull are quite good at taking part. Last Friday the six teams that have made it to the UK finals were announced, and two of them come from our university. Well done folks. We'll have team details and what they are up to later this month, when the students come back and we start up the new semester.

In the meantime, if you want to take part in the competition, do your bit for charity and cost Microsoft some money (and who doesn’t) you can still sign up for the other competitions at the UK Imagine Cup web site. Microsoft have pledged a pound to charity for everyone who gets involved.

Do they have an Imagine Cup type competition for people who are no longer students but want to get involved in that kind of thing?

I don't think there are any competitions like that from Microsoft. The Imagine Cup is strictly a student event. However, it is not unknown for industrial types to get involved in terms of mentoring and judging.

Awesome, thanks. I also stumbled across X48, Microsofts 48 hour XNA game programming competition, which seems to be open to students and indie developers.
