WordPress Wallpapers: Show Your Love for Design and WordPress

WordPress Wallpapers: Show Your Love for Design and WordPress

At Envato, we love WordPress. In fact, we love it so much that the entire Tuts+ network and the majority of our blogs run on heavily customized WordPress installations. We want to share that love with the wider WordPress community by creating a gallery site full of beautiful and free wallpapers around the central theme of WordPress. That’s where you come in!

We’ve launched http://wp-wallpapers.com with 22 awesome WordPress wallpapers designed by our team in house. But we need more! If you’re passionate about WordPress or design, we would love for you to get involved with a wallpaper contribution of your very own!


How Does it Work?

If you’re interested in being a part of this community initiative, all you need to do is the following:

1) Design your wallpaper based on the theme of WordPress! For examples of what we mean, check out the existing wallpapers we’ve designed at http://wp-wallpapers.com. You may include your own personal branding on the wallpaper. You should not include any Envato/Tuts+ or Marketplace branding on the wallpaper.

2) You will need to save your wallpaper in three sizes and compress them as a zipped archive (any popular format accepted):

  • Desktop 2560×1600 px
  • iPad 1024×1024 px
  • iPhone 640×960 px

3) Visit this form and submit your entry:
http://www.formstack.com/forms/envato-community__wordpress_wallpapers

4) We will contact you should your entry be accepted to the gallery.


What’s in it For Me?

  • Being featured in the gallery will result in promotion for your own personal brand. We will promote the gallery heavily.
  • All authors of entries accepted to the gallery will receive a $15 Envato Marketplace credit (we will cap the initial amount of entries accepted at 50 – we will close the form and update this post if and when we reach this amount).
  • We will give $150 ‘cash’ (paid via PayPal or MoneyBookers) to three separate designers who have created a beautiful wallpaper (as judged by our in-house design team) which was accepted to the gallery.
  • We will also give away 3x 12 month Tuts+ Premium subscriptions to three random designers with wallpapers accepted to the gallery.

This contest will remain open until we reach the predetermined amount of submissions to the gallery (50) or until 1st of June 2012, whichever comes first. Happy designing!

Update: We have received many fantastic submissions and will begin uploading to the gallery this week (starting 16 April), and begin to contact those designers who have been accepted to the gallery!

We love WordPress and we love wallpapers and we hope you get involved!

    My site is using wordpress and very nice to set a wordpress wallpaper on my screen! Thanks :)

  • Pedro Donini

    We can send more than one?

  • http://www.micah-jones.com Micah Jones

    Cool, I’m working on a site now and might submit my wallpaper.

    Is it just me or does the logo look like it says ‘Wallpapess’, the R and the S look very similar.

    Also a few bugs, one being that when you apply a filter (views, likes and dates) you aren’t able to use the pagination to navigate to another page, it displays the same page over and over.

    The second being that the filters don’t work properly, it lists wallpapers at the top of likes or views when they don’t have the most. Also I clicked the yellow color and it showed no results when clearly there is a dominante yellow wallpaper in the gallery and the same goes for colors i pick where it displays wallpapers with very little or no colors of the one picked in it.

    I am using Chrome 17.0.963.56 for Mac.

    It is a great idea but needs work for it to reach it’s full potential.

    Hope this helps.

    P.S. If it does not make it into wp-wallpapers.com then I will release it on my site.

    Is it still open or did you guys reach your 50 submissions quota? ‘Cos I just put in mine

  • http://www.flipthatu.com Tim

    Hi,

    Is the wallpaper submission full? The upload form will not allow me to upload. 411?

    • http://chibilicious.com Chedie

      I’m having the same problem. On the submission form it says:

      Upload Your Wallpapers*
      (File uploads have been disabled for this form.)
      Please upload a compressed version of your wallpapers

      Could anyone from envato give an update on this pls?

      • http://www.yinpan4444.com Pan

        same problem exactly. I guess they’ve probably reached the “50″ number. Can anyone update this info or reopen the submission form please?

    • http://www.justforthealofit.com/ TheAL

      I’m thinking they’ve reached the max number of submissions. I haven’t had time to work on one yet, so I was hoping to do one this upcoming weekend.

  • http://chibilicious.com Chedie

    • SS

  • http://blog.tangyandbrightdesigns.com Mena

    I have uploaded mine. but i didn’t get any response .. how long it will take ?

  • hi

    Yai! Finally first wallpaper was uploaded on the site!
    I was just wondering… it looks a TON like this other tutorial that I saw in some site… Isn’t that plagiarism? Or maybe since the tutorial isn’t copyrighted…

  • Marie

    I’m really pumped about this! I just submitted my designs. I hope you choose me! I can’t get over how much I enjoy these contests! They’re so motivating! :D

  • kevan

    Hey guys – sorry for all the delays :/ we’ve been having a small backend problem with the site that I need a dev to look at. It’s stopping us from uploading the wallpapers. Rest assured we’ve received all of your awesome submissions and have selected some really great ones to be featured.

    We will contact everyone as soon as the issue is fixed and will be promoting the gallery from June onwards! There’s been some awesome stuff submitted, can’t wait to see it get more fleshed out :)
