64_logo.png Ubuntu Free Culture Showcase

  • The Ubuntu Free Culture Showcase is an opportunity to show off high quality free culture content in Ubuntu. At the heart of Ubuntu's ethos is a belief in showcasing free software and free culture, and with each development cycle we open the opportunity for any Free Culture artist to put their work in front of millions of Ubuntu users around the world. Although the space restrictions are tight, and we are limited to how much content we can include, this is an excellent opportunity for artists everywhere.

How it works is simple

  • Upload your submission somewhere online (there are lots of free hosting solutions available such as archive.org). Do not email any of the organizers or judges with your submissions.

  • Add your entry to one of the tables below.
  • When the deadline for submissions closes, our panel of judges (Ivanka Majic, Matthew Helmke, Dylan McCall, Eric Hedekar and Fabrice Coutadeur) will pick a shortlist, and the Community Council will then pick the final winners from the shortlist.

Deadline!

The deadline for submission is 28th Feb 2010.

Questions

  • So will this stay Free Culture as in "a picture","a video" and "a audiofile"? Or will text and gfx demos be allowed at this point?(under Other Media)
    • We added the "Other Media" section for exactly those types of entries. I just made that more clear in the "Other Media" section description. - -- greg.grossmeier 2010-01-15 19:38:48
