by , 2:45 PM EDT, April 16th, 2008
Apple has posted its call for the annual Apple Design Awards. The awards celebrate the best in iPhone and Mac application development with a ceremony during WWDC week. Submissions are accepted begining on Tuesday, April 15th and end at 5:00 PM PDT on May 12, 2008.
Developers can submit their products in one or more of the following categories:
- iPhone Developer Showcase
- Best iPhone Web Application
- Best Mac OS X Leopard Application
- Best New Mac OS X Leopard Game
- Best Mac OS X Leopard User Experience
- Best Mac OS X Leopard Graphics and Media Application
- Best Mac OS X Leopard Student Product
The Apple Design awards come with substantial prizes: two 15-inch MacBook Pro laptops, two 30-inch Apple Cinema Displays, one 16 GB iPod touch, one 8 GB iPhone, an ADC Premier Membership, reimbursement for one WWDC 2008 E-ticket including airfare and accommodations, and one 2009 ADC Macworld Expo Exclusive Marketing Package, according to Apple.
The Apple Design Awards is a huge event, typically occurs just before the WWDC Stump The Experts event and packs the hall. As a result, there is significant peer and public recognition both during the event and when the results are publicly announced by Apple.

Apple Design Awards sometimes go to products that users later pan. Delicious Library is one example. They got an Apple Design Award, perhaps for the "pretty" UI, but check their ratings and the comments on VersionTracker versus their competition, including DVDpedia.
