Welcome to the IC3 World Cup Competition

Hi everyone. My name is Sunny Washington and I am the IC3 Program Manager at Certiport. Together with Greg and the rest of the IC3 World Cup team we'll be working with you throughout this competition to make this a positive experience for you. Right now we have several teams representing over 20 countries worldwide.

This is the third year that I've worked on the IC3 World Cup. The competition began in 2006 as a test to see if there was any interest in an IC3 competition. We were pleasantly surprised at the thousands and thousands of people that participated in the competition that year. In 2006 we were able to award Orem Junior High and CompUSA with the IC3 Cup Trophy:

In 2007 we selected three winners to represent their own areas. Our winners last year were Team Colegio Boston Universitario from Costa Rica, Team Formosa from China, and Team Technokids-Technoplus from Greece.

I had the pleasure of meeting with both Team Colegio Boston Universitario and Team Technokids-Technoplus in Orlando at the Certiport Pathways conference and give them their trophies.

Here are the two winners Edgardo Pacheceo and Dimitris Vergos at our after gala celebration.

This year our competition is especially exciting because of all the new teams that are participating in addition to teams that have participated in the past. I'm thrilled that we have so many teams from so many different countries this year also.

I'm really excited to work with you this year and hopefully we'll see you in Hawaii!
