Now in its sixth year, the Imagine Cup has grown to be a truly global competition focused on finding solutions to real world issues.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Of course we’re also pulling for the three finalists in the &lt;a href="http://imaginecup.com/Competition/WindowsLiveAward.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Software Design Windows Live Award&lt;/a&gt;, from &lt;a href="http://imaginecup.com/MyStuff/MyTeam.aspx?TeamID=10988" target="_blank"&gt;China&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://imaginecup.com/MyStuff/MyTeam.aspx?TeamID=12780" target="_blank"&gt;Spain&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="http://imaginecup.com/MyStuff/MyTeam.aspx?TeamID=6660" target="_blank"&gt;Turkey&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;#160; Again, good luck to everyone!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.liveside.net/aggbug.aspx?PostID=8587" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://www.liveside.net/main/archive/tags/Imagine+Cup/default.aspx">Imagine Cup</category></item></channel></rss>
