Mac OS X Innovators Contest Open for Entries: O'Reilly & Associates is accepting entries for Round Two of the Mac OS X Innovators Contest. The contest, sponsored by Apple Developer Connection (ADC), seeks innovative Mac OS X applications, plug-ins, user interface widgets, or other creative original software. Entries are judged on ease of use, adherence to the Mac OS X Human Interface Guidelines, use of Mac OS X technologies, and last, but definitely not least, innovation.
First prize, worth nearly $5000, is an ADC Premier membership, a full pass to the O'Reilly Mac OS X Conference in Santa Clara, CA (October 27-30, 2003), and a one-year subscription to O'Reilly's premium online book service, Safari. Entries must be submitted by June 16, 2003. The Round Two winners will be announced at the O'Reilly Open Source Convention in Portland, Oregon, July 7-11, 2003.
Round One of the Mac OS X Innovators Contest wrapped up with the announcement of the winners at the O'Reilly Emerging Technology Conference on April 24. Brent Simmons's NetNewsWire and Robb Beal's Spring were chosen from a field of over 100 entries. Simmons and Beal's applications were installed on all the computers in the conference's ADC-sponsored Rendezvous Lounge so conference attendees could experience them first-hand.
