Org-mode allows you to master your personal and project information 
your way, in plain text, with features which stay out of your way 
until you want them, all backed by the power of Emacs.

(I didn't notice a mention of Emacs in other suggestions; seems 
essential to me.)

If you go the screenshot way (along the lines of Carsten's mock-up), 
I'd suggest using split windows to show off more than one aspect of 
org-mode. I'm thinking a vertical split with an agenda buffer in one 
window. Static screenshots don't really do org-mode justice---it's 
text and superficially just text---and that might give a glimpse into 
how it is more.

Congrats on the well deserved finalist slot.
