Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) Wallpaper Contest

Just a reminder to the Ubuntu community that the contest for community-submitted wallpapers is continuing from Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) into Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx).

For Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala), 19 community-submitted wallpapers were chosen. This was a great improvement from the very first Ubuntu - 4.10 (Warty Warthog) - to Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) where only 2 to 4 wallpapers were shipped by default.

If you want to make Lucid a release to remember, head over to the Ubuntu Artwork Flickr page, sign up for Flickr if you don't have an account (unfortunately this is a necessity) and submit your wallpapers!

Here are my submissions thus far:

    I rather like sunset but dont release wallpapers typically keep in line with the release name in the past?

      Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Haron) was to first to do this, and then Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) followed by Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) and Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) did not use a background that reflected the codename. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ubuntu_releases for more details.
