So here it is - lets get the best of the best wallpapers for the next LTS - 22.04 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.
Winner of the contest will get $50 worth of merch from our store on Zazzle.
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!
Due to the way discourse works, please drop a link to a picture held -for example- on a Dropbox account or similar. Discourse automatically reduces the picture resolution if you paste the image into a post.
Guidelines for desktop wallpaper images:
• If in doubt what images to submit - have a look at our 20.04 , 21.04 or 21.10 default wallpapers (packages budgie-wallpapers-focal, budgie-wallpapers-hirsute or budgie-wallpapers-impish)
• 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
