Your creative use of Qt Quick components could win a nice new smartphone, get your app promoted, and have your skills noticed by the community. We are looking for the best examples of Qt Quick components for Symbian Belle with our new Qt Quick components competition.
Qt Quick components fast-forward your UI creation by providing ready-made elements like buttons, sliders, lists and toolbars. The components have native UI style for Symbian Belle (or other targets like MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan), and allow you to spend more time working on the UI elements that matter most.
If your Belle app shows nice use of Qt Quick components you could win.
To enter, you need an application that uses Symbian Qt Quick Components. It should demonstrate UI design flair and style while remaining faithful to the core Symbian platform style (as captured by the design and iconography guidelines). You are free to mix standard and custom components, and winning entries will demonstrate innovative approaches to branding and other design elements.
To make sure we understand the true elegance of your work, write a wiki article that points out the key elements of your application design. The article should also point to a binary version of your app so we can install it and be amazed.

Nokia Developer Champion Chintan Dave is taking advantage of Nokia's cross-platform opportunities. The Gujarat, India-based software engineer with Quickstart Global has created applications for all of Nokia’s platforms: Series 40, Symbian, MeeGo, Mobile Web, and now Windows Phone.
Under his screen name, chintandave_er, Chintan is also a frequent contributor to the Nokia Developer community, which he has been a member of since 2008. One of his recent articles in the Nokia Developer Wiki, ‘World’s Greatest Speeches Application for Windows Phone – How To’, used his own app as a model for building data-bound apps for the Windows Phone platform.
Another of Chintan’s apps, Celebrity TweetTalk (available in both Windows Phone and MeeGo versions), collects Twitter posts from a range of celebrities; Chintan describes his development experience in another of his Nokia Developer Wiki articles, ‘Nokia TweetTalk Applications for Windows Phone’. He continues to turn inspiration into apps, with five published offerings in Windows Phone Marketplace as of early February.
