Deadline: 28 February 2027

Microsoft has opened applications for the 2027 Imagine Cup Student Startup Competition. The contest, launched in 2003, now sits within Microsoft for Startups and accepts eligible early‑stage startups and founders worldwide.

Each startup may create one account and submit a single entry form. The chosen category decides the judging panel and the criteria used.

Applicants must supply details of their startup, a valid Azure Subscription ID, a Microsoft for Startups account, and answer all submission questions. All documents are uploaded through Award Force. Microsoft may request further information or verification later.

The deadline is 11:59 p.m. CST on 28 February 2027. Winners will share US$250,000 in cash and up to US$1 million in Azure credits.
