Jono Bacon has announced the second Ubuntu Free Culture Showcase, this
time for the Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope release!

The Ubuntu Free Culture Showcase is an opportunity to bring the best of
two great worlds together by showing off high quality Free Culture
content in Ubuntu. At the heart of Ubuntu’s ethos is a belief in
showcasing Free Software and Free Culture, and with each development
cycle we present the opportunity for any Free Culture artist to put
their work in front of millions of Ubuntu users around the world.
Although the space restrictions are tight, and we are limited to how
much content we can include, the Ubuntu Free Culture Showcase is an
excellent opportunity for artists everywhere.

The winning submissions will be made available on the shipped CDs and
download images of the Ubuntu 9.04 release. Every user will be able to
find the content in the Examples/ folder in a home directory.

With this competition we are now not only accepting submissions for
audio and video, but also graphic/photo submissions. This opens up the
competition to all of you budding photographers and artists. We have a
winner to find for each category, and the competition closes on 6th
February 2009.

Entering the showcase is simple:

- Your submission must be one of the following:
- Audio Entries - no larger than 1MB in size - made available in Ogg
Vorbis format.
- Video Entries - no larger than 2.5MB in size - made available in Ogg
Theora format.
- Photo/Graphic Entries - no larger than 0.5MB in size - made available
in PNG or JPG formats.
- All entries must be licensed and distributable under the Creative
Commons Attribution ShareAlike license.
- Upload your submission somewhere online (there are lots of free
hosting solutions available such as archive.org). Do not email any of
the organisers or judges with your submissions.
- Add your entry to one of the submission tables at
http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuFreeCultureShowcase.
- When the deadline for submissions closes, our panel of judges will
pick a shortlist, and the Community Council will then pick the final
winners from the shortlist.
The deadline is 6th February 2009 and you can read more about it at
http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuFreeCultureShowcase.
