The Debian Linux project has launched a call for community artwork submissions ahead of the upcoming Forky (Debian 14) release. The deadline for entries is November 26. Participants must submit art that feels distinctively "Debian," integrates cleanly without requiring core software patching, and remains visually appealing for the long term. This process mirrors previous releases and aims to feature designs on boot screens, login prompts, and desktop wallpapers for millions of users.<\/p>\n

Elise Couper’s "Ceratopsian" theme was selected as the winning default for Debian 13 Trixie. The release names echo characters from the Toy Story franchise; Trixie was a triceratops introduced in Toy Story 3, which explains the "Ceratopsian" reference in the previous submission. Forky is a character introduced in the franchise’s fourth entry. The Debian team cautions against overly busy designs that may cause user fatigue, though they acknowledge that successfully incorporating Forky’s googly eyes into a design would be a notable achievement for any artist.<\/p>\n

Debian celebrated its 33rd anniversary in August 2026 and positions itself as the "universal operating system" with support across different hardware architectures. Its latest point release, Trixie 13.7, arrived on September 12, 2026. Forky (Debian 14) is now in the later stages of its development cycle, with the artwork selection process marking one of the final steps before the release becomes available. Interested artists can review the submission requirements on the Debian Wiki.<\/p>\n
