[ubuntu-studio-devel] Art Team! 10th Birthday Wallpaper Contest

[C. F. Howlett]

Hey UbuntuStudio:

I'm preparing to run a wallpaper contest for the 10th Year of Ubuntu 
Studio (17.04 for those who were unaware).


I learned some valuable lessons from the 16.04 contest so this time will 
be a bit different in the hopes of yielding some truly outstanding 
results.  Please review the draft announcement below and provide feedback.

Digital Artist Call
Ubuntu Studio 17.04 Wallpapers

Would you like YOUR artwork to be prominently featured on millions of 
desktops?  Yes?  Read on!

With the forthcoming 17.04 release, Ubuntu Studio, the Linux for 
Creative Humans, celebrates Ten (!) years of life!  We ask your help to 
polish the look and feel of our favorite OS.  Over the next few months, 
we will call on your brains and creative impulses.  Here’s one way YOU 
can add your own special flair; create, design and submit a 
custom-designed US desktop wallpaper!

General Guidelines

Only ORIGINAL art will be considered – no derivatives
NO photographs!  (But photo-realistic creations are acceptable.)
Art must be created in open-source software, e.g. those included Ubuntu 
Studio.
Submissions must include source files.
One or more of the general work-flow elements (audio, graphics, video) 
must be incorporated in the design.  Liliu Hua, an UbuntuKylin artist, 
did this quite elegantly.  Zoom in to see the magic. [url filtered] Look 
closely.
Only ONE submission per artist.

Ten wallpapers will be selected and packaged for 17.04.  The submission 
deadline is February 28th, 2017.

Additional technical specifications can be found on the Art Team wiki.
