How to Become a Microsoft MVP

Many of us do not have a clear idea about Microsoft MVP Award. I get questions like, what exam do I have to clear to get an MVP award. This blog answers what an MVP award is and how to receive it.

First of all, there is no examination for MVP.

 

Microsoft Most Valuable Professionals (MVPs) are technical leaders who are awarded for voluntarily sharing their real world expertise in technical communities such as C# Corner. They are the best and brightest, and they share a deep commitment to community and a willingness to help others.

 

Each year, the technical community's best and brightest are awarded as Microsoft MVPs. You can learn more about the MVP Award and individual MVPs, by visiting the following Web sites:

 

In order to receive the Microsoft MVP Award, MVP nominees undergo a rigorous review process. Technical community members, current MVPs, and Microsoft personnel may nominate candidates. A panel that includes MVP team members and product group teams evaluate each nominee's technical expertise and voluntary community contributions for the past year. The panel considers the quality, quantity, and level of impact of the MVP nominee's contributions. Active MVPs receive the same level of scrutiny as other candidates each year.
