Grab this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to show us your talent for technology!

If you’ve got the talent, we’ve got the prizes – $215,000 of them no less – but you’ll have to get your skates on.

April 1st 2005 is the deadline to register for the Imagine Cup, Microsoft’s competition to celebrate student achievements in technology. Miss that registration date and you’ll miss out on free membership of theSpoke Premium and a free copy of Microsoft® Visual Studio®.NET 2003. Plus the first 10,000 students who go on to submit an entry also get a free copy of Microsoft Office 2003 Standard.

As a secondary school student, there are three “high school” invitational categories where you could really show off your talents:

• The IT invitational pits you against the same problems and topics that are driving today’s IT industry

• Web development gives you the chance to create an educational website that would get other students excited

• Visual gaming tests your coding and algorithmic skills while creating a multi-player head-to-head!

So why not enter the Imagine Cup by visiting www.imaginecup.co.uk and you could be celebrating more than just your birthday this year!
