Consisting of more names than I have patience to read, the list contains nominees for the Irish Blog Awards various categories, including: Best Popculture Blog, Best Blog from a Journalist, Best Food/Drink Blog, Best Fashion Blog, Best Arts and Culture Blog, Best Political Blog, Best Group Blog, Best Technology Blog/Blogger, Best Sport and Recreation Blog, Best News/Current Affairs Blog, Best Specialist Blog, Best Newcomer, Best Blog of a Business, Best Music Blog, Best Personal Blog, Best Humour Blog and Best Photo Blog.
Saying this however, and at the risk of being accused of sour grapes (lol), isn’t February a bit early in the year to be judging the best blog for 2009?
The Microsoft Imagine Cup 2009 competition is in full swing, with entries now being accepted for the Software Design Competition. Shameless Plug: I will be participating in team SmartGate.
Students will have until May 20, 2009 to submit their round one application, which consists essentially of a project proposal in which you must document how your team’s entry can use technology to enable a sustainable environment.
To qualify for entry to Round One of the Ireland Software Design Invitational each team must ensure they supply the following:
1. Have registered their team at http://imaginecup.com/Registration/Default.aspx
2. Email the Software Design Template fully completed in all sections – Concept, Application Overview, Architecture Design.
3. Email Sample Code that demonstrates the most compelling part of your application in working form.
4. Please supply extra documentation if the code requires set-up or additional understanding.
If you haven’t registered, I’d strongly suggest you do so immediately. Hopefully we’ll see you there!
