It appears that there was a wallpaper contest for the forthcoming Ubuntu GNOME 16.10 (Yakkety Yak) operating system as well, and the winners for this cycle have already been announced.

Ubuntu GNOME developer Alfredo Hernández is the one to give us the big news, and he informs the community about the availability of ten (10) new gorgeous wallpapers for Ubuntu GNOME 16.10, which will launch later this fall, on October 13. Various skilled artists and photographers have submitted some of their beautiful artwork for inclusion in the upcoming OS, and you can now get an early preview of them all.

"As you may have read on our social media pages, we already have the winners of this cycle’s Wallpaper Contest," says Alfredo Hernández in the blog announcement. "The team would like to thank all the gorgeous photographs and digital art that have been submitted to the contest (next to one hundred in four weeks is amazing; even after announcing the winners we’ve been getting more submissions."
