It is GIMP's Tenth Anniversary and close enough to the time for the 2.2.10 release of stable GIMP making it a very good time for a splash contest. This contest is very simple. We are collecting images with tutorials and when it is all done, the GIMP's Lead Developers will pick the one they find most appropriate.
Contest Requirements
New for this contest, is the requirement that a tutorial accompany your image. The tutorials should have a text or html file that describes the steps you took and the plug-ins that you used to make your image with GIMP. Screenshots are optional but will be appreciated. The tutorials files should be archived in either the zip format (.zip) or in a gzipped tarball (.tar.gz or .tgz). All of these tutorials will be considered for a place in the www.gimp.org tutorials. Please provide your name and a valid email address so we can contact you if you are one of the splash image winners and we find a teeshirt for you or if we need to get permission to use your tutorial on the web site.
Images should be in the Portable Network Graphic format (.png). The template that jimmac made for the last contest is available for use as a size guide. The image should contain 50 pixels of somewhat solid color in the lower portion of the image for the text to scroll on. The template is 300x290 pixels however, the last winner was not that size. Use your best judgement. There is no way to know what those developers will like, so make an image that you like.
If you have been wondering why no one does this or that beautiful effect with GIMP, now is your chance to show and tell. Thank you for your consideration.
Submissions
Submit your splash image here: Splash Submission Form. The contest will be open until Sunday the 27th of November, at which point the winner will be announced and committed to CVS.
You can view the submissions so far at the contest gallery page.
Good luck!
