Yes of course, as long as you can provide is available on-line for 
evaluation (time-limited evaluation version, demo version, free for 
non-commercial use...)

Internet related applications are among the most interesting softwares 
I'd like to see at the awards. Last year the winner was SmallWiki...

That's okay.

Last year one of the winners (Göran with SqueakMap) couldn't make the 
trip.
I commented the slide show he sent me (10min).
So, if you know somebody who will attend you can ask him to do the 
presentation for you.

An alternative is to make a video with your slides/demo and your audio 
comments. So, I just play it during the conference.

Yes, please do.

Kind regards,
