There is a wide community of online artists capable of creating brilliant, unique artwork.

heading: Get your artwork on 10 million desktops

Ubuntu, the world's most popular Linux distribution, needs a new theme. The winner will appear in the default desktop of Ubuntu 8.10.

We're looking for original wallpapers, that match Ubuntu's color palette. You entry should also include a suggested combination of application, icon, and window themes. These can be existing themes, or your own original works - you only need to submit a wallpaper to win.

Work must be CC licensed, and be openable in either Inkscape or Gimp (rest of criteria continues)

Submit your works to DeviantArt and include the words [Ubuntu810].


Good luck!

Developer comments
At this point in time it is unclear as to whether we can realize something like this. In any case we cannot promise to include anything as default without having already seen it. This might be a good way to find alternative wallpapers to also include on the CD and/or universe as an extra package.

Solution #1: Auto-generated solution of idea #384
Written by mikemaccana the 29 Feb 08 at 01:19.
Ubuntu Brainstorm was updated in January 2009. Since the idea #384 was submitted before this update, its rationale and solution are not separated. Please vote accordingly, and if you have the necessary rights, please separate the rationale from the solution. Thanks!

Solution #2: Ubuntu picks the winners
Written by bukzor the 9 Apr 11 at 19:38.
@Developer: If you pick the winner of the contest, then surely you will have seen it beforehand... This can easily be done. Please reconsider. For a great reference see the recent collaborative competition hosted by TF2 and Polycount.org ( http://www.polycount.com/team-fortress-2-polycount-pack/ ). This created valuable assets for TF2, prestige for Polycount members, and great buzz for both.
