Ubuntu 23.04 Wallpaper Competition
The Ubuntu 23.04 wallpaper competition has started on January 10, 2023. For those who want to participate in this competition, check out the information below. Who knows, your work might be selected as wallpaper for Ubuntu 23.04, which will be released in April.
As in previous competitions, submissions are collected on Ubuntu Discourse, specifically at https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/lunar-lobster-23-04-wallpaper-competition/33132. After the submission period closes, community members can vote for their favorite entries. The top five submissions in the Ubuntu 23.04 Lunar Lobster release wallpapers will be included!
If you’re interested and want to join, here’s how:
- Original Artwork: You must own the rights to the image you submit; it must be your original artwork.
- Image Quality: The full-quality image should be 3840x2160px. The image size should not exceed 10MB. PNG or JPEG formats are acceptable.
- High Quality: Ensure you create a high-quality image. Avoid image compression artifacts, pixelation, chromatic aberration, and noise. Do not add any watermarks, names, or logos. Also, see this helpful guide from GNOME 11.
