Windows Azure Resources

If you are building an app using Windows Azure, either for the competitions or challenges, we have worked with a number of Microsoft experts, including our Windows Azure Challenge Captain, Nick Harris, to put together the following:

Win Bigger with the Windows 8 Boost! If you're one of the three Windows Azure Challenge winners at the Worldwide Finals in St. Petersburg, and your project includes a Windows 8 Store App, your team will win an extra US$1,000 thanks to the Windows 8 Boost! Please see the official rules for details.

Code better with the DevExpress Boost! If you’re the first-place winning team in any of our competitions and challenges at the Imagine Cup Worldwide Finals this July in St. Petersburg, Russia, each member of your team will receive a DevExpress Universal Subscription so you have the powerful coding tools you need to make your next great app! Please see the official rules for details.
