Updated suggestions for the 18.04 wallpaper contest policies

[Pasi Lallinaho]

I'm reluctant to add this bit, because then this can revert back to the 
previous state – eg. you find some work online and ask the creators 
permission...

But I do see the point – I'd like to enable submissions for work that 
are made by somebody in the submitters family or friends, but not 
"anything".

Cheers,
Pasi
