The default wallpaper for Plasma 5.16 is [https://postimg.cc/vDhjMwRy Ice Cold 2] by Santiago Cezar and went through [https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=312&t=160809&p=417965 several iterations] before winning the competition.
'''The default wallpaper for Plasma 5.16 is [https://postimg.cc/vDhjMwRy Ice Cold] by Santiago Cézar.'''


There were several very high-quality entries in the running, so much so the judges had to go to [https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=312&t=160990 a second round] because it was so hard to decide. Although there can only be one default wallpaper, users can have the best of both worlds, as the finalists (plus many of the other submissions) will be included with Plasma 5.16 or later versions KDE's desktop.

Although there can only be one default wallpaper, users can have the best of both worlds, as any entry can be downloaded for personal use and some of the other submissions may be finding their way into Plasma 5.16's additional wallpaper collection or later versions of KDE's flagship desktop.


== Rules ==
We would like to congratulate Santiago for the win and thank all the participants for the effort and beautiful graphics you submitted for the competition.
 
# The design of your wallpaper must be original and created specifically for the contest
# The design of your wallpaper must be released to KDE under a copyleft license (CC By, CC By-SA), or released into the public domain or equivalent (CC0)
# Even if your work is not picked as the default wallpaper, your submission may still be included in Plasma 5.16 or used with future releases
# You can submit up to 3 entries
# Image files must be in PNG format, preferably accompanied by the source files in a non-proprietary format (Inkscape-compatible SVG, blend, kra, xfc, etc.)
# The minimum size for your submission must be 4K (3840x2160), although 5K (5120x2880) is preferred. Optionally, a phone-sized (1080x2280) wallpaper for Plasma Mobile can also be submitted
# Do not add the Plasma version number into your wallpaper. Any logos or text, such as the (Plasma logo) should be tastefully integrated into the design of the wallpaper itself, not just added on top as text
# A jury made up of members of KDE's Visual Design Group (VDG) and other KDE community members will decide the winner. There will be only one winning wallpaper and the decision of the jury is final
# The organisers will disqualify and erase any entry that is racist, sexist, demeaning or inappropriate in any way. Disqualifications and deletions are final and cannot be recurred
# The deadline for submissions is midnight (UTC) on 29/05/2019

We have a Winner!

The default wallpaper for Plasma 5.16 is Ice Cold by Santiago Cézar.

icecold2.png

There were several very high-quality entries in the running, so much so the judges had to go to a second round because it was so hard to decide. Although there can only be one default wallpaper, users can have the best of both worlds, as any entry can be downloaded for personal use and some of the other submissions may be finding their way into Plasma 5.16's additional wallpaper collection or later versions of KDE's flagship desktop.

We would like to congratulate Santiago for the win and thank all the participants for the effort and beautiful graphics you submitted for the competition.

Prize

Our friends at Slimbook have kindly donated a Slimbook One v2 as a prize for the winning participant. The One v2 is an eco-friendly, compact machine, measuring only 12.4 x 12.8 x 3.7 cm. It comes with an i5 processor, 8 GB of RAM, and is capable of outputting video in glorious 4K. Naturally, your One will come decked out with the upcoming KDE Plasma 5.16 desktop, your spectacular wallpaper, and a bunch of great software made by KDE.

Help and Feedback

You can ask the VDG for help and feedback any time during the competition! Just join the #kde-vdg channel on Matrix or the freenode IRC channel.

Also check out the discussion in the competition's subforum to get tips and feedback.

Previous Wallpapers for Inspiration

Previous wallpapers, made by the artist Ken Vermette, can be found on this page. This is just meant to help you design the wallpaper, and following the style is not mandatory. Here are the most recent ones:
