The more platform-independent code, the better - after start of COBS, it should be even much easier to target multiple platforms, so we should already promote good practices.
Yep. I'd also put weight in apps being cross-platform. Maybe the theme of the competition could be cross platform / portability? For example with Qt that isn't even hard to do since just by using Qt you're writing for multiple platforms by default.

Personally I'd drop updates to existing applications from the competition unless it's close to a complete rewrite. At least I would like to see *new* interesting apps as a results of this competition.
