No question of age, or experience, or a portfolio of past projects. All they have to go off of is the project description, which I basically paraphrased from the Mono website and added some technical jargon. I don't know how they can differentiate between two applications for the same project.
I think what they are mainly looking for are projects that sound innovative rather than the capabalities of the programmer. For instance on the google group for it, it has been stated lots of times that the programming languge used or programming skill are not as important as innovative programs that can actually be completed.
