EDIT: Voting is now CLOSED. I’ll announce the winners shortly.
The Ubuntu wallpaper competition has attracted over 160 entries this year, the most ever! Thanks to everyone who entered their art for consideration by the Ubuntu community as wallpaper for 19.10 Eoan Ermine. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed watching the thread expand over the months with lots of beautiful images.
The standard is very high this year so I think it’s going to be hard to limit yourself to your favourite ten, but limit yourself you must. Think carefully about how you vote, the winners will go forwards through to the 20.04 LTS competition as well.
which contains all the images and a checkbox to indicate your vote (limited to 10). Since the images in the form are pretty small I would suggest that you keep the competition topic open in another window so you can examine the images in more depth:
The competition voting will close on, probably, 20th September. EDIT: Voting will close Monday 16 September
The polarbear image I believe was already used in a package, I think that when I was working on the Ubuntu Cinnamon project and doing wallpaper stuff I found it.
Congratulations to the winners, and thanks to everyone who entered. This releases competition has been the best yet, and we’ll be doing it all over again once the 20.04 “FF” cycle starts.
I will be in touch with all the winners by email (to the email address you used to register here) to ask for the final versions of your images.
I just wish I knew how to get the best pictures! I will in the future also enter in Lubuntu and other spins/flavors and tell them not to put it in if it gets into Ubuntu.
Congratulations to the winners!
Can I make a suggestion for the next wallpaper contest?
Why not spice things up for the next round and ask for submissions of wallpapers that transition through the day i.e. the morning - noon - evening - night kind of wallpapers?
Maybe you’ll then need to open the contest sufficiently in advance to give people the time to come up with such transitioning wallpapers and each person can submit only one set.
Please consider this!
