forming their teams at schools all across the globe.
Since then, they have poured their hearts and
souls into their solutions and competed in dozens of National Finals, taking great projects from
just an idea to competition-grade execution.
Following the intense Nigeria National Finals that took place in Lagos and other National Finals in various countries across the globe, more than 150 top teams from the National Finals events went on to the World Semifinals where they were judged by a global panel of MVPs, industry experts and Microsoft staff.
The judges were asked to select only the best, most compelling projects from teams vying to move on to the World Finals, the final stage of the competition.
At the World Finals, the remaining teams will compete to be crowned as the champions in their respective categories and the chance to win $50,000. Then, one team will go on to win the
coveted Imagine Cup and the grand prize, a private mentoring session with Microsoft’s Chief
Executive Officer, Satya Nadella. 35 teams across the globe will bring their unique visions for the
future to Seattle to compete in the Imagine Cup World Finals from July 26 – 29, 2016.
