The Epsilon Award* explanation of the logo
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please nominate
now:
and please add 24MH4G4B

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Epsilon is the fifth letter of the Greek alphabet and the Phoenician Word for sun derives from that root. An astronomer knows that there is a constellation in space called (Lambda)-Epsilon which we can see at the right hand side. So the Epsilon Award is a combination of Excellency, craftsmanship and visionary ability. These are characteristics of an outstanding programmer and a piece of true software art.
Details of the Epsilon award*:
Who can apply?
Anyone who is actually a programmer or who is speaking on his or her behalf.
With what kind of products?
Normally the eligible product would be an application written in any language used in the Software Industry. It should be a-ready-to-install application - not a beta-version. It should be "friendly" with the modern OS versions (2000, XP, Vista, Mac, Linux distributions) and of special value to a definable group of users. It should have an original and unique solution approach providing a real benefit for the software market. And it should be distributed the fair way - as a ShareWare version in all possible variations.
How will the award be selected?
There will be three phases for the selection process:
1. Nomination. Starting from July 10th to September 4th, 2008. Please fill in the following form for that phase. You will have to register with a real name and a valid email address for that - allowing us to validate your nomination - and to verify that the product or application nominated actually has been listed in accordance with the legal bearance of ownership.
2. Voting. Starting from September 5th to October 27th, 2008 all visiting viewers of this page will be able to vote. Again the IP-address will be logged in combination with a cookie in order to ensure a maximum of fairness and accuracy in the public vote.
3. The result will be announced on Sunday afternoon, November 9th, 2008 at our conference. There will be one winner.
What are the prizes?
There is one winner and prizes of recognition for the first ten nominees and the second placed nominee will also receive a price.
The winner will receive:
1. Our annual original piece of art by an European artist and a winner`s certificate.
2. 300 Euros in cash
