What is it? A contest for programmers, writing free GUI software using Qt (a C++ GUI toolkit, see http://www.troll.no/). Anyone can enter, there is no fee for entry, and any program can be entered as long as it is written in C++ and uses Qt. The winner will be paid US000 and two runners-up 00 after the contest has closed on May 1, 1997 and the jury has done its job. Why? Troll Tech _sells_ Qt licenses to professional developers, on Windows 95, Windows NT and so far ten UNIX-like operating systems. Troll Tech also _gives_ free software developers free licenses for UNIX/X11, partly as publicity, and partly because we like the UNIX/X11 free software community. We wish to encourage more free GUI software for X11 (there isn't very much good free X11 software, in our opinion) and we wish more people to experience for themselves how good Qt is. More information http://www.troll.no/contest.html has extensive information about the contest and Qt. Questions may be sent to contest@troll.no.
