I'm reluctant to add this bit, because then this can revert back to the
previous state – eg. you find some work online and ask the creators
permission...
But I do see the point – I'd like to enable submissions for work that
are made by somebody in the submitters family or friends, but not
"anything".
Cheers,
Pasi

How about adding "or with the written permission of the original artist"

2) Own work only (including derivative works)
Here's the original proposal:
Second, I would like to limit submissions to own work only.
While this
means we are potentially excluding people from the contest, we are
still making the contest more about the community – not just a
community curated contest.
I would like to add that the original intent – while it unfortunately
doesn't show in the comment – was to allow *derivative* works. Or in
other words, as long as the original work you are taking has a
suitable
license and you modify it enough to clearly stand as its own
(derivative) work, the submission is completely OK.
Looking at the previous contests, this policy would *only* have
affected
submissions made by the Xubuntu team members, myself included. I
want to
make this contest even more about the community, which is why I'm
suggesting this change. (Or in other words, I wouldn't call a contest
you can win by submitting somebody else's work you found from the
internet a "community" contest.)
Please do comment on these suggestions within a week so we can get on
with the planning (and launching the contest) soon.
Cheers,
Pasi
