The first Bizspark Australia camp was held on the weekend with 11 teams all competing for the $5000 prize awarded to the best web “thing” (Hodge, 2010). The teams underwent intensive training on Windows Azure and were asked to address a web based problem of their choice, using Azure.

Catherine Eibner put on a great event, with Nick Hodge, Steven Nagy and Jordan Night providing advice and support to the teams. Some great idea’s were thought up, but there can only be one winner. Congratulations to Mark Burch and Ben Simmonds for their winning idea “Eye know it”, a fantastic concept based on photo streams.

The quality of the idea’s produced over the weekend was outstanding and we look forward to hearing a lot more from the BizSpark members. For photos of the day check out the deepzoom developed by Jordan Knight.

Thanks and stay awesome,

Kyle Price
