It's that time of year again kids - the time when Mac OS X developers can
submit their application to Apple for a chance to win a coveted Apple Design Award. The categories up for judging this year have actually lowered from eight to seven
since 2006, shaving off Best Automator Workflow to leave us with:
- Best Mac OS X Leopard Application
- Best Mac OS X User Experience
- Best Mac OS X Developer Tool
- Best Mac OS X Game
- Best Mac OS X Scientific Computing Solution
- Best Mac OS X Dashboard Widget
- Best Student Application
We know what you're saying: "Best Leopard app? But it isn't even out yet!" Don't worry, we're scratching our heads too. Even though more and more developers are already
announcing Leopard-only apps, we're itching just as bad as you are to see all the wiz-bang new stuff developers' apps can do with the
fancy new technologies - some of them still a secret - of Mac OS X Leopard. Fortunately, since the awards are announced
at WWDC, which is where everyone thinks Leopard is going to debut anyway, we'll already have a list of rockin' apps that were chosen by the dev community themselves to hit the ground running with.

Perhaps Leopard will be available, perhaps not. On the application, one of the fields to fill out is:
Indicate when and how you publicly announced the release/availability of your contest entry. Provide URLs to announcements and press releases, if applicable. If you are submitting into the Leopard category, please indicate Leopard product – release pending.
