Community Chooses Top 5 Finalists in version 1.0 About Screen Contest

Finalists for Inkscape 1.0 About Screen Contest

The Inkscape Community has spoken! The Top 5 Finalists of the version 1.0 About Screen Contest have been chosen by 598 community voters.

These five finalists will now go on to the next round of voting by the project's contributors who will choose the final design. The winner will be announced shortly after the conclusion of the contributors' voting, which ends on December 15.

Version 1.0 of Inkscape is already shaping up to be something special, not only for the improvements lovingly crafted in the program itself, but also for the love from the 96 Inkscape artists who designed 124 entries for our About Screen Contest.

Congratulations to our Top 5 Finalists!

  1. 'Island of Creativity' by Bayu Rizaldhan Rayes
  2. 'Graphic Design' by Bożena Augustyn
  3. 'Migrate to Freedom' by Bayu Aji
  4. 'How to Fold a Memory' by Dismecha
  5. 'Inkscape 1.0 About Screen' by Rania Amina

Kudos to everyone who submitted an entry. We are so honored that you took the time to share your passion and your art with us!

As mentioned in the contest rules, all entries will also be considered for different Inkscape promotional visuals, including social media cover art, web site cover art, and Inkscape hackfest or other project event posters, banners and stickers.

The next round of voting has begun by the project's contributors who will choose the final winner. The winning design will be part of the version 1.0 build and launch.

We'll announce the winner here a little later this month. In the meantime, if you're curious to see how the About Screen has evolved over the years, head here and scroll down to check out our gallery.
