<p>This looks great overall! Now some comments:<br>
</p>
<p>1) works should also be licensed with an open license. (we can
narrow that down further to something like CC-SA, CC and CC0 and
GPL only) Submitters should at least specify what the license is
if not add a copy of the license file.<br>
</p>
<p>2) any source images or resources used must also be either
original work, or compatible with the license of the work they are
submitted, and credited if the open license of the 3rd party
source requires it so. This might not be necessary to clarify in
announcement but when submitting the work the artists explicitly
confirms they have not used anything that is not properly
licensed, and we should have a place for them to add the 3rd party
credits. This should also prevent people from using photographs
that they don't own as basis of their work. <br>
</p>
<p>3) The whole "this must be original artwork no photography" part
is jarring (and is likely to cause offense) considering
photography is art. Using photography is not some bad thing, its
just not what we want in this contest :) So, instead of a "no
photography" how about clarifying. <br>
</p>
<p><font size="-1">"General Guidelines</font></p>
<p><font size="-1">The contest is open to paintings and
illustrations created with any open sourced 2-D and 3-D
software. Both representative and abstract works are allowed.</font></p>
<p><font size="-1">Submissions must include sourcefiles..."</font></p>
<p>I hope these ideas help, and thanks again for working on this. :)<br>

<pre>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.
******************************<wbr>***
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.
