QtForum.org Announces Qt Developer Contest
==========================================

   QtForum.org [http://qtforum.org/], the independent Qt community
Website launched October 2003, today announced the QtForum.org Developer
Contest [http://contest.qtforum.org/]. The subject for the contest is
edutainment. This QtForum.org Developer Contest is sponsored by
Trolltech [http://trolltech.com] as a part of the company's support of
the open source community.

     The first prize for the QtForum.org Developer Contest is USD 1500,
and the second prize is USD 750. Two third prizes, the Judge's Choice
Prize and the Community Choice Prize, will each be awarded USD 500.

     "QtForum.org is responding to the need for a developer community
for the growing number of Qt developers out there," says QtForum.org's
Community Manager Christian Kienle. "The QtForum.org contest aims to
bring Qt developers together and challenge them to be creative with Qt
in the field of edutainment."

     Eligible contest entries can be any English language version of an
original "edutainment" software application developed using Qt versions
3.2.3 or later. "Edutainment" software is software written to educate
the users while it entertains them. The software must be licensed under
an Open Source license.

     The contest winners will be announced on the QtForum.org and
Trolltech Websites.

     "We are very excited about the open source community's initiative
to establish an independent Qt community Website," said Matthias
Ettrich, Trolltech's Director of Software Development Desktop Platforms.
"The QtForum.org Edutainment Contest will help boost this excellent
initiative and we are looking forward to seeing many new Qt based
applications as a result."

     The contest is open to individuals who are independent software
developers or to companies which are software developers. Developers may
enter works created individually or in collaboration with other eligible
contestants. The deadline for submitting contest entries is May 31.
