Hm, I suppose the "best application" prize has to go to Krita, because the improvements since last year are just too overwhelming to let anything else get the prize. Well, Amarok maybe. Let's see.
The "best contribution" and "special jury's choice award" prizes are not so clear. For the last one, what about Laurent Montel as Obsessive Qt4 Porter? Might be a good alternative for naming the technical preview after him - after all, "Laurent" doesn't include one single K ;)
