Hello,
Better but not good. I think we should take this to some place where enough people gather that can submit wallpapers. Means we have to take this where wallpaper artists are. Several places come to my mind:
Smashing Magazine - They already have a "contest" for a monthly wallpaper. Maybe they would be interested in collaborating with us on a "openSUSE Wallpaper" contest. They are pretty open source affine. http://www.smashingmagazine.com/tag/wallpapers/
Abuzedo - They have a weekly wallpaper contest. They are less open source affine but more "out there" in relation to art. http://abduzeedo.com/tags/wallpaper
Deviantart - They regularly run contests. The only "problem" is see with them is that usually you get a price for winning. So we would need to find something to give. http://www.deviantart.com/
I really think we should tap into one of these communities. Maybe we can even make a permanent thing out of this? Like our own Wallpaper of the month or contest or the default wallpaper (yes i know I'm crazy) or something. The thing is, we can offer them what artists want most: exposure. If we push something in our distribution or onto our desktop you get an instant exposure of 1 million viewers. Thats something most artists will kill for so we can expect nice submissions and then everybody wins right?
Sure henne that should be put on art communitys, but u cant post it there without any posting on our own pages. Where should people looking what are the conditions? I would search them on the pages who make the "contest" br gnokii
