Hm, I saw the option to get email alearts as soon as someone edit's your changes. Perhaps you could use this as a small workaround?
Or could we block editing for anonymous users?
Yes, the wiki could be an option if the submitting site does not work out..
But I see some other downsides of using the wiki. For example will we need some personal data from the winners like address and PayPal address. On our site it will be just logging in and provide those informations. The logistical effort would be much higher for us using the wiki. But of course, if there would be no other option we'd have to go back to the wiki.

Not necessarily.
The plan is to make this site a one stop shop for the average user to test the apps and build his opinion.
For example you could upload a .install file which points to your app in the repository.
Or just a link to your website where the user will be able to download your app. Or installation instructions and so on...
Of course the easier you'll do the installation process, the better the user will probably vote for you.

Please head over the the FAQ at the wiki and ask your questions. We'll answer them as soon as possible: http://wiki.maemo.org/MeeGo_Coding_Competition_2011#FAQ
But we've learned A LOT from the past competition. The easy way but also the hard way. kojacker, would you like to share some experiences?
