Darklight Announce Imagine Cup Collaboration

Press Release: 6 November 2008

Darklight and The Imagine Cup Announce Collaboration

Darklight, in association with Microsoft, Ireland are delighted to
launch the 2009 The Imagine Cup Short Film Competition in Ireland.

Now in its sixth year, The Imagine Cup is an annual competition aimed
at third level students which encourages young people across the globe
to apply their imagination, their passion and their creativity to
technological innovations that can make a difference in today's
world.

The Imagine Cup is a truly global competition focused on finding
solutions to real world issues. To enter the short film strand of the
competition, participants have to submit a three minute script or
storyboard responding to the statement:

Imagine a world where technology helps solve the toughest problems
facing us today.

Irish finalists will be brought to Egypt to participate in the
Imagine Cup World Finals, where they are required to make a short
film inspired by their winning idea. With a prize of $8000 USD for
the overall winning entry, this is an opportunity not to be missed.

Darklight's role in the Imagine Cup competition is that of Mentor,
Facilitator and Advocate. We think this is a wonderful opportunity
for aspiring young filmmakers across the country to have their film
made and win some big, big prizes. This competition isn't about
technical ability or industry clout it's about the power of ideas.

All questions regarding entry and participation in the Imagine Cup
Short Film Competition should be forwarded to Sinead Ni Bhroin -
