Announcing the GamingOnLinux wallpaper competition

By - | Views: 52,021
I need a new wallpaper, and I would very much like one that in some way has GamingOnLinux branding on it. Here's your chance to shine and win something.

Rules
1) Enter as many as you like
2) It must somehow have "GamingOnLinux.com" or "GamingOnLinux" on it and be easily readable
3) Ideally have it in a format that's easy to edit
4) No art taken directly from games (that includes screenshots, logos etc, it's a legal grey area)
5) You don't have to use our penguin logo!

Accepted licenses
All the wallpapers submitted will need to be under Creative Commons BY-4.0 or CC0

Since I will be using it for personal and GOL related uses, I need to be able to use it without restrictions, so those licenses seem fair to allow the same to others.

Where to host it
You can use any image upload website like imgur to upload it and link it in the comments.

Resolution and source files
Resolutions: At least 1920x1080, one that scales okay to higher and lower would be awesome.

Please keep the source file, I may need higher resolutions in future and may want to make adjustments. If the chosen winner does not have the source file, a new winner will be chosen.

What can I win?
Your choice, I can either donate £20 to a FOSS/Linux related project/website of your choice or you can be gifted games worth £20 from any store that accepts gifting games.

Don't feel bad if you want the games, not everyone can afford what they want it's totally cool either way!

When does it end
Sunday July 3rd 9PM UTC.

Winner chosen by me alone.

Go get creative!

I am hoping to do more fun little competitions like this as time goes on, stay tuned. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Keep them coming guys, loving this.

Could it be possible to have them in higher resolution? (I have a 2560x1440)
And also in a lossless format like PNG? Some JPEG compression artifact aren't that beautiful ;)

Also, instead of this...

... it would be better to have this:

Here's my entry - I edited my post on page 1 to include it aswell - it's 4k so it should scale to 1080p and 1440p well.

It is a wallpaper specifically for me and GOL, that is why I am offering payment.

Edit: although I do really like that idea, so I think I will amend it to that.

Okay guys as requested as it is a good idea, all items will be under http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

Hope everyone is cool with that, if not feel free to remove it :).

Also, as noted in the competition, please make sure you keep the image as an easily editable file format so that the winner I pick I can easily edit and change size as needed. Including it as a jpg or whatever is fine for showing it off in comments, but I do need the source file at the end :)
