Yeah, what about it?  I see no .ly's or pictures.
AFAICS, Affaire étrangère is the "only" new composition
mentioned -- and this is not mentioned/advertised?

I'm not sure if claop.py would qualify but there must
be more ``modern compositions proudly engaved with lilypond''
that would want/allow to be listed in such a category (Darius,
Trevor Baca, Orm come to mind?)

Ubuntu is offering everlasting fame, why can't we?

A release piece would be a nice start -- it would have no losers or 
runners-up of the contest anyway...
