For each new version of Inkscape, we traditionally invite all Inkscape artists
to submit a proposal for the “About Screen”.
That's the image that you get to see when you click on “Help → About” in Inkscape
to find more information about the version of the program installed on your device.
We've also used the About Screen artwork for our news articles, for the download page, and in other locations.
Even the non-winning entries are in use for many different purposes!
For the Inkscape 1.3 About Screen Contest, we're trying out an exciting new idea:
We're giving artists a topic to work with!
Our contributor community brainstormed lots of possible topics, and,
from that huge set, selected the topic
“Celebrating 20 years of Inkscape”
The Inkscape open source project was founded in 2003, so it will be 20 years old this year.
We invite you to show the world what the anniversary means to you,
by using your art and creativity!
