I'm not opposed to early submissions, but at the time [1] I felt it was 
not wise to try to have a submission announcement during all of the 
various winter holidays.  The groups are open and submissions are now 
possible.

I know that packaging the wallpapers can be done in about an hour, so I 
don't think I need extra time for packaging.  I'd set the submission 
schedule to work around my commitments for UbuCon Summit at SCaLE 14x.

In wily, judges were chosen from prominent community members as well as 
the Canonical Design Team (which had one vote).
