 Imagine Cup Software Design Contest Qualifying Round Ending Soon!

The Imagine Cup Software Design qualifier ends this Thursday (3/8/2007). The top 200 competitors will be invited to the Regional semi-finals. Imagine Cup is a software competition that is held by Microsoft every year. Only 300 people have registered in the United States, so everyone should still have a good chance at making it to the Regional round. Microsoft will even pay for your flight to the Regional round! It took me about 1 hour to get enough points to qualify (4 people from OU have already qualified). For more information go to the Imagine Cup Software Design website at http://www.imaginecup.us
