Shuttering the Ubuntu Billboard Photo Contest

By David Planella | Published: 2013-05-28

Recently we announced a contest to spot Ubuntu billboards in the wild in Russia and the Ukraine. The contest required you to take an original photograph of a billboard containing a Dell advertisement with Ubuntu. Due to extenuating circumstances, we have been informed the billboards have been taken down. In light of this news, we unfortunately have to end the Ubuntu billboard photo contest early.

As of today, May 28th, 2013, the contest is officially ended. No further submissions will be accepted. Those who submitted a picture will be contacted with further details. Thank you to everyone who participated in the contest. We hope you enjoyed seeing Ubuntu displayed on the billboards and hunting to find a sighting.
