KDE 6 Wallpaper Competition Open Until Nov.14

> Wallpaper entries should somehow suggest the following themes:

> Trustworthy (i.e. reliable, stable, dependable)

> “A reflection of me” (i.e. personalized, familiar, comfortable, “fits like a glove”)

> Personal growth (i.e. independence, level mindedness, critical thinking)

> You should not feel constrained by the themes. Quite the contrary: The goal is for them to inspire your design and maybe help evoke these feelings/thoughts in the viewer, but you should take the abstract nature of the ideas as a way to freely express your creativity in your design.

I spent weeks just thinking about a solid concept for it but couldn't figure a way to convey or signify somehow those concepts in one cohesive piece - I just gave up.

I participated with one the previous time they did an open contest but could come up with something because there was an "untold" set of rules - you know the style of all "KDE 5" wallpapers, based on 'mosaics' composed of triangles or hexagons. But this time with such constraints I feel it's actually pretty hard _just to be sure what to do_ because the possibilities are almost endless.

I do hope their future wallpapers take a much more organic course than in previous versions, though. And much respect for whoever can pull that off and come with a great concept.

"The wallpaper must be original, created specifically for this contest, and released under the CC-BY-SA-4.0 license. Therefore no submissions using AI art will be accepted."

Fine KDE, be ignorant while lamenting for decades about Fear Uncertainty Doubt tactics by proprietary vendors.
