Hi, everybody!
Is there going to be an additional wallpaper contest for Fedora 36?
If so, when approximately? If not, why not?
I guess you are a bit late for it:
I think OP is asking for supplementary wallpaper contest. AFAIK, the last one was for Fedora 32:
Thanks for the info, I appreciate it!
It seems that the link refers to the default one, but I meant not the default one for F36 but supplementaries. I remember that there used to be a contest and publications on Fedora Magazine, but it seems that lately for one reason or another there haven’t been any movement in the realm of fresh and shiny (supplementary) backgrounds.
Here you can finde the answer: Issue #706: Supplementary wallpapers for F34 - design - Pagure.io
Some of the Fedora 32 wallpapers were really beautiful I wonder why they didnt make the cut.
Is there generally 1 or 2 new ones added to make it more special?
You can see the winners (the most voted 16 wallpapers) of Fedora 32 supplementary wallpaper contest here:

They are included in the f32-backgrounds-extras-base
package.
Fedora 33 was my favourite release so many big changes and I wish Gnome stayed the way Fedora 33 was. Wish there was a way to rollback.
So, as far as I understand, basically the problem is that we don’t have enough people/time to check the legality and licensing validity of every wallpaper that gets chosen, and that only really trustworthy people can do it.
If there is a way for a wider community to chip-in and help? It looks like that a lot of people would be interested in getting new bling. Any advice?
Try to propose something in the Design team issue tracker. As you understand it is not a trivial task. But maybe, if many people show their interest and commitment, a new group could restart this activity.
