For the first time in Frugalware’s history, we’re running a wallpaper competition. The aim of this competition is to get an original wallpaper for Frugalware’s 0.9 - “Solaria” - release. The winning entry will be set as the default wallpaper. It will also be the basis for various derivative works - e.g. KDE/GDM/SLiM themes, splash screens.

The successful entrant may be offered the opportunity to produce derivative works from their winning wallpaper. If they decline this offer, a Frugalware developer will produce these works based on the source files provided by the entrant (refer below for this condition).
