SweetLabs, the creators of Pokki, an app platform that creates a mobile-like app-centric desktop experience, is running a $50,000 app developer contest through November 15 to encourage developers to create Pokkies.

Pokkies are applications that Web developers create using the Pokki platform to distribute connected desktop applications using HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript. As of right now, Pokki only supports Windows XP, Vista and 7, but according to their website, support for Mac is coming soon. 

The contest started on Sept. 23 and runs through Nov. 15. Developers can enter the contest and have their Pokki judged on Utility, Appearance, User Experience, Uniqueness and Quality. The prizes range from $7,000 to $30,000 and three winners will be selected at the end of November. 

Do you have a Pokki application? Tell us about it below. You can also enter it into the contest here
