After years of participation, Romania finally marks the first prize in Software Design. It’s a great day for Sytech team from Iasi and for their mentor. Cosmin Ilie won the IT section with the highest score ever.

Congratulations to the team members, their mentors and the Microsoft Romania people who put their hearts and minds into it.

I hope this will be an impulse for others, I hope Sytech and Cosmin will share their winning tips and I want to see many others asking them how they did it. It must be repeatable!

A while ago I blogged about the experience of being a member of the jury for the Software Design section of Imagine Cup in Romania. Sytech, the team that represents Romania in the Egypt finals prepared for us a nice present during last weekend. They qualified in the top 6, world wide. That’s the best result all-time for a Romanian team in this (section of the) competition. Congratulations!

Of course, as always, Valy Greavu has deep coverage, so follow his blog for details: http://itboard.ro/blogs/valys_blog/archive/2009/07/04/finala-imagine-cup-2009-it-challenge-live-text.aspx (Valy, thank you for being there and sharing)
