I chatted to Thorsten and Martin about this (well, they brought it up 
with me as I clearly wasn't paying enough attention to detail) and I 
wanted to leave it a bit more open - not sure if I will live to regret 
it. We could just make the Ubuntu Free Culture Showcase about video and 
music but if I were a budding illustrator I would want people like Peter 
Grundy to look at my work, for example.

Traditionally we have had very few contributions to the Free Culture 
Showcase so we decided to run the Wallpaper competition in parallel as 
that has run very well but this is the first time we are explicitly 
seeking illustrative wallpapers so I see this as an opportunity to widen 
the net!

Thoughts?
