Microsoft run a student global technology competition, known as the Imagine Cup, the competition has a software category but also has a number of designer focussed categories, i.e. Photography, Short Film, Interface Design. All categories except the software category are competed globally for two rounds and then in round 3, teams are sent to the world wide finals to compete. We have been running the local competition for the past three years with it picking up alot of momentum. In 2009 we had over 50 teams sign up for the Software Design Challenge, with the biggest value being working with a voluntary industry mentor for the duration of the competition.
