Timeline

 

You have until September 30th 2023 at 12 PM CET to submit your work.
The winners will be selected & announced by October 15th.

AI

Currently, there are ongoing battles that are arguing that AI art is copyrighted by the original owners of the artwork that was used to create the neural network for them, so for this competition, using art straight up from one of the available generators is banned, but using this art as inspiration is ok.

Are AI generated (stable-diff) pictures allowed? Copyright is quite unclear afaik.

This post can be deleted and the answer maybe put in first post for better overview.

How many submissions one allowed to make? Would animated desktops be allowed (not too much CPU)?  (Sample animation attached)

I am submitting my **original artwork** for the Armbian Wallpaper Contest.
**Artwork Details:**

- **Title:**Penguin Planets in Armbian Universe
- **Description:**I wrote a little program to create this image. The background, the penguins and the icons can be customized by making small changes to this program. A wall paper generator web page could be made available for this purpose as well.  To encourage vendor support for this project, the penguins (icon, penguin size and location) can be customized per vendor needs. Linux penguins as planets is my original idea (I did not find or copy anything from google). Since the image can be easily recomputed, they are not important any more only the idea remains. The background image is found by searching google images for royalty free universe images. Another background image can be substituted easily if need be.
