Imagine Cup 2014 | Competitions Competitions Our three main competitions return for 2014, and once again the prizes are substantial: $50,000 to the first-place team in each of the following:
Games: Great games come from anywhere and people play them everywhere. Powerful game engines and libraries are available for free so students can get started right away.
Innovation: Incredible, world-changing software innovations often come from students. Social networks, music services, – the list goes on. We’re looking for the next big thing.
World Citizenship: Find a problem in the world, even in your own life or community, that affects many people, and then work to solve it. Build a project that could change lives.
Imagine Cup 2014 | Challenges Global Online Challenges None of the challenges require programming or are they required for the main competitions. Instead, they are to help you get started with the Software Development Life Cycle. First-place teams win $3,000 (USD).
Pitch Video Challenge (September—October): Record a five minute video pitching your project.
Project Blueprint Challenge (November—December): Deliver a written project proposal covering your users, requirements, scenarios and business model.
User Experience Challenge (January--February): Show us your user flows, wireframes, and a visual target for how your software will look on screen.
