So here it is - lets get the best of the best wallpapers for the next LTS - 20.04 Ubuntu Budgie - and your winning entry (or entries) will be admired for the next three years!

We need you to submit your best photos. Just reply and attach or web-link to your photos.

# Rules - just two key rules:

• **If the wallpaper is NOT your own work we need the link to the original source together with the Authors name** - the license for images that are not yours MUST be CC0 or CC-BY-SA 4.0  
• **Our target resolution is 3840 x 2160 (4K)** - so please don’t submit images that are less than the target - don’t worry if it is more though!

# Guidelines for desktop wallpaper images:

• If in doubt what images to submit - have a look at our 18.10/19.04 or 19.10 default wallpapers (packages budgie-wallpapers-cosmic, budgie-wallpapers-disco or budgie-wallpapers-eoan)  
• Images shouldn’t be too busy and filled with too many shapes and colors, a similar tone throughout is a good rule of thumb.  
• A single point of focus, a single area that draws the eye into the image, can also help you avoid something too cluttered.  
• Try your image at different aspect ratios to make sure something important isn’t cropped out on smaller/ larger screens at different resolutions.  
• No brand names or trademarks of any kind.  
• No branding assets like **ubuntu-budgie** or text in order to permit use by derivative distributions.  
• No version numbers as some may prefer to continue to use your theme with an older version of Ubuntu.  
• No illustrations some may consider inappropriate, offensive, hateful, tortuous, defamatory, slanderous or libellous.  
• No sexually explicit or provocative images.  
• No images of weapons or violence.  
• No alcohol, tobacco, or drug use imagery.  
• No designs which promotes bigotry, racism, hatred or harm against groups or individuals; or promotes discrimination based on race, gender, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation or age.  
• No religious, political, or nationalist imagery.  
• Use PNG & JPG formats

Nice images 🙂 Please do look at the resolution requirements - some of the images we cannot use since the resolution is too low.

@fossfreedom ~~I don’t think any of them are 4K sadly~~ nvm, they are. ☹ Would upscaling work?  
If so, I’ll upload 4k versions asap 😛

I guess if they are close to 4K then great - no need to worry. If they are significantly below 4K then upscaling will not help.

Hi and welcome - lovely picture - I’ve copied the image from your google-drive to here since we could not the picture. It does look though to be a very low resolution picture which we cannot use ☹

Well most of them are above 4k, but some of them are under.

Yeah 😛 I have a pro level camera, but nothing good to take a picture of ☹  
Also your second picture is under 4K resolution, it can’t be used ☹
