The Les Trophées du Libre contest was a free software contest whose goal was to promote innovative software projects by giving those projects recognition and media coverage and rewarding participating students and academic institutions with special prizes.
The international competition was intended both to free development professionals and amateurs.
Participating projects could apply to seven categories: Security, Games, Multimedia, Business Management, Education, Science applications and administration and communities.
The president for the 2009 edition was Pierre Spilleboudt.
The Trophées du Libre's fifth award ceremony took place in June 2009.
