GIMP's 10th Anniversary Splash Contest

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the has-it-been-10-years-already dept.

Lalakis writes "Barely in time for GIMP's tenth birthday is the 10th Anniversary GIMP Splash Contest. This new contest requires a tutorial with the submissions, so get out your favorite text editor and show us all of the beautiful things you can make your GIMP do. Submit those entries and wait to see if there is a gimp-2.2.10 with your entry as the very special release splash. Here are all the current submissions. The contest will be open until Sunday the 27th of November, at which point the winner will be announced and committed to CVS. Happy Birthday GIMP!"

    If the GIMP is ten years old, that says a lot about my own age.

    I refuse to accept this arbitrary number!

    No dynamic effect layers, the drawing tools are from CCCP, the color management still has got a lot to do, pdf importing isn't very good afaik

    But they're adding a new splash screen!
