The first one is <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://design.canonical.com/2011/01/bright-light-and-beautiful/">http://design.canonical.com/2011/01/bright-light-and-beautiful/</a>, I saw John Baer's proposal linked to it somewhere (and it seems reasonable to me, but I'm sure it's better to discuss that specification with Iain Farrell first). The other one is Free Culture Showcase, which requires submissions to be freedom-themed. It's probably OK to have two different wallpaper contests if they have such a different rules and themes, but that must be clearly stated in the projects list at least. </blockquote> 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!
