Wallpaper Competition for Ubuntu 26.04, Resolute Raccoon, opened for submissions. 6 of them will be included in the disc images.<\/b><\/p>\n
This is one of my top favorite community activities. I’m neither an expert artist nor a professional photographer, but I can get many cool images and vote my favorites to be optional wallpapers for all Ubuntu users.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Like the last competition, the submissions are grouped into 3 categories: Mascot Theme<\/b> – artwork that features the mascot for raccoon, Digital \/ Abstract<\/b> – artwork created by digital tools (e.g., Blender, GIMP etc), and Photography<\/b> – high resolution image taken from a conventional or digital camera.<\/p>\n
The top TWO<\/b> voted images from each category will be included in Ubuntu 26.04 as optional wallpapers in the Appearance -> Background settings.<\/p>\n
The rules for this competition include:<\/p>\n
The AI generated artwork is NOT allowed!<\/b> Because there are active legal debates on the ownership of AI generated artwork and whether it can be copyrighted or not. And, many popular AI generation tools use a license that does not align with those for the contest.<\/p>\n
The wallpaper submission started a week ago on December 15th<\/b> (UTC), few months earlier than the last 24.04 LTS. And, the submission window is open for few weeks longer than before, until January 28th<\/b>. After the submission close date, all can vote until February 4th<\/b>.<\/p>\n
