Apple sets out WWDC 08 awards

Apple has laid out some of the Design Awards that will be given out at this June's WWDC conference. For the first time, two iPhone categories have been created: the "iPhone Developer Showcase" will highlight programs in ongoing development with the beta SDK, while "Best iPhone Web Application" will focus on the only commercially-sanctioned iPhone applications at the moment, those built for Safari. Winners in these categories will receive two 15-inch MacBook Pros, two 30-inch Cinema Displays, an 8GB iPhone and a 16GB iPod touch, plus developer bonuses such as an ADC Premier Membership.

Remaining awards at WWDC will be Leopard-themed, with categories for the best application, game, user experience, graphics and media application, and student project. The last of these categories will give out a smaller award, consisting of a single MacBook Pro, a Cinema Display and a Touch, plus a less prominent ADC Student Membership. Entries for the awards must be submitted before 5PM Pacific time on May 12th.
