If you are a student at a university, community college, vocational or trade school, or a high school, you are eligible to participate in Microsoft Imagine Cup. All students at accredited schools in countries around the world are eligible.
Teams can consist of members from multiple countries and/or universities, but the team can only represent one country in the competition.
We look at residency, not citizenship. If you are resident of an eligible country, you can compete representing that country even if your citizenship is elsewhere.
Teams may change their name and add or update team members, but they would have to do this before the submission deadline
