Looks like we're facing duplication of effort again: we have two

http://design.canonical.com/2011/01/bright-light-and-beautiful/, I saw
John Baer's proposal linked to it somewhere (and it seems reasonable
to me, but I'm sure it's better to discuss that specification with
Iain Farrell first). The other one is Free Culture Showcase, which
requires submissions to be freedom-themed. It's probably OK to have
two different wallpaper contests if they have such a different rules
and themes, but that must be clearly stated in the projects list at least.
I chatted to Thorsten and Martin about this (well, they brought it up
with me as I clearly wasn't paying enough attention to detail) and I
wanted to leave it a bit more open - not sure if I will live to regret
it. We could just make the Ubuntu Free Culture Showcase about video and
music but if I were a budding illustrator I would want people like Peter
Grundy to look at my work, for example.
Traditionally we have had very few contributions to the Free Culture
Showcase so we decided to run the Wallpaper competition in parallel as
that has run very well but this is the first time we are explicitly
seeking illustrative wallpapers so I see this as an opportunity to widen
the net!
Thoughts?
