as an academic, you can get travel expenses covered by university. To
attract people who write open source sw on their *free* time, you need
to cover their expenses. It seems to me you really need to work on the
funding side to get non-academics attending ... or maybe i've missed
something.

No, we don't have set of evaluators/judges. It's pretty early stages
and the point of the July workshop is discuss and hear proposals for
how to evaluate for the prize. We are certainly open to have more
people and organizations involved.
I guess I'd encourage a larger / diverse judging panel so that
you're tapping different perspectives, and also to increase the
contest's prestige and objectivity.
I agree. My goal is that anybody who is interested can be involved in
the evaluation process in some way. If this is a very large group of
people I'll consider that a good problem.
I also think you might consider multiple prizes, since there are
different categories of apps, and having more winners means the
benefits of this process get spread more widely.
Yes, this has come up. Multiple awards is certainly a possibility,
others have suggested limiting the scope to just phone applications
since this seems like the use case people are most interested in,
others have suggested that solutions which have compatible
implementations on multiple platforms should get bonus points.
Overall I'd stress that there is still a lot of flexibility to shape
this based on what the community thinks is most important to evaluate.
