Article --- [Canonical](https://canonical.com/blog/author/canonical "More about Canonical") 6 March 2012 # Choosing, moving, wallpapers [Canonical](https://canonical.com/blog/tag/canonical) [Design](https://canonical.com/blog/tag/design) [Ubuntu](https://canonical.com/blog/tag/ubuntu) [wallpaper](https://canonical.com/blog/tag/wallpaper) --- Share the article All the way back in January we [kicked off the submissions process](http://design.canonical.com/2012/01/precisely-how-were-going-to-make-the-wallpapers-in-12-04-the-best-ever/) for the next released of Ubuntu. We did this using [Flickr](http://www.flickr.com/groups/1860176@N24/) and since then [the group](http://www.flickr.com/groups/1860176@N24/) has been inundated with over 2,700 submissions! This is an incredible achievement in a reasonably short time and many of the entries are looking great. Charline, on the Canonical Design Team, contacted me earlier today to ask about what comes next. Well, first of all I’d like to thank everyone who has submitted thus far. It’s an incredible amount of user generated content and we should be chuffed to bits to have so much good stuff to sort through. Next I’d also like to encourage anyone who \_has\_ submitted to review what they’ve placed in the group. We are about to ask a small group of people to select from nearly three thousand images. If you’ve submitted more than one image if you could please review your images and decide if we really should be considering them all that would be a huge help :) Lastly, don’t forget the deadline for submissions is **March 15th 18:00 UK time**. At that point I’ll close the group and the judges will start sorting through these entries. Then from their selection we’ll try and get down to a number of images that can be safely fitted onto the CD image. As always we’ll separate out the entries selected into their own group and we’re also looking into making a package of all the selected images so the completionists out there can get all the wallpapers in one easy package. Easy, huh? Well you don’t have to sort through 3000 images in a week! ;) Happy snapping, sketching and scanning!
