Every year Microsoft organizes software contest Imagine Cup where young technologists around the world participate based on a theme: to help resolve some of the world’s toughest challenges.

This year, a team from Bangladesh is also going to participate in Imagine Cup final round, which has been selected among hundreds of teams in Bangladesh, through different phases.

As one of the judges of Imagine Cup 2011 to select finalists from Bangladesh, I was very excited to see the efforts that were given by all the participants of Imagine Cup 2011 from Bangladesh.

One of the most exciting things that I enjoyed, besides excellence in software engineering, all participants put their effort on innovation to do some good for humankind, by being encouraged with the theme of this competition.

On 10^th May 2011, the result has been announced. “Team Rapture” won the first position, which will participate to the final round of Imagine Cup 2011, to be held in USA on July. Their project was focused on mobile phone client software to make the life easy for visually impaired people.

I believe this is just a good start to show the brightest light from Bangladesh to the world.

Thanks to all who participated and congratulations to the winning team!
