The site says that "entries must function with the Sharp Zaurus SL-5000D and must be compiled with Qt/Embedded, version 2.3.2," but the rules make no demands one way or the other regarding licensing. How about making a GIMP-based ultra-mini photo studio tool?

How about making a GIMP-based ultra-mini photo studio tool?

I don't think that you'll win this content with anything GIMP-based. GIMP is based on GTK (and GDK), which are essentially concurent products to QT (though not yet as strong in the embedded sector AFAIK). Additionally you'll have essentially rewrite the GIMP, 'cause GTK and QT are quite different (both from design and implementation, not to speak of two different languages). A nice port of Konqueror would be nice, but that has already been done.
