   Imagine Cup Rendering contest
  Hi - My name is Shreyas Vijaykumar - I got started with nehe.gamedev.net about three years ago in college when I was taking my first graphics course.  Anyway, I work at Microsoft now, specifically on programs for high school and college developers.  The program I run is called the Imagine Cup (www.imaginecup.com).The Imagine Cup is like a technology Olympics for students.  It has four categories:  short film, rendering, software design, and algorithms.  I personally added the rendering category this year because of the great experience I had with graphics in school. Long story short - if you are interesting in building a real time rendering for the competition, or submitting something you''ve already built (in DirectX) for the contest, we''d love to have you participate.  Also, if you have ideas for how we can make the contest/rules even better for next year, that would be great too.Thanks,Shreyasinfo@imaginecup.comhttp://www.imaginecup.com/rendering.aspx
