GIMP 2.2 Splash Screen Contest Revisited

As reported here earlier, the GIMP team asked artists to submit their artwork to be used as the official splash screen for GIMP 2.2. The reaction was overwhelming. More than 666 splash screens have been submitted. You can look at the submissions in the gallery or download the movies, grab some popcorn and enjoy... Once you've seen all splashes, you may want to help the judges to pick the best splash by voting for your favorites.

Very subtle

That reference to the number of the beast. Well put.

Re:Who needs splash screens anyway?

By linking the contest on the front page the editor of /. effective sabotages(slashdotted) the contest today. So you might have your "no splash screen" after all.

If you reach the site after all just vote for something inappropiate, and it will be disabled by default in the next version.

(my gimp 1.x takes 40 seconds to load, so a screen displaying it is doing something is effective)

Re:Sorted results by popularity are now available.

And yet, that's typically what happens to Slashdot comments: a positive moderation makes it more visible, where it gets more positive moderation.

Because

So, so very true.

Re:Wow, these suck.

My guess is you where modded "troll" by some geek who thinks he is an artist! But it's really true. And, funny in a way. Sort of like people who think they can write, working on that novel in their spare time...
