안됐네 :| It would be cool if KDE could win something and use the
money to support Korean KDE contributors somehow (e.g. with travel
support), that would make the competition more useful for local
devs perhaps ...

I found this interview from 2013 with 강소희 who is involved with
the program:

The winners there were all developed at universities and are
smaller projects (as the one-year rule says). So I'm not sure
that KDE is what they're looking for.

But I applying could not hurt I guess ...
