| For a long time now, Ubuntu has included on the CD a small collection of media files that can be used to show off a new Ubuntu system. This content has always included a sound and a video clip, both using the free Ogg Vorbis and Theora formats. | {{attachment:64_logo.png}} == Ubuntu Free Culture Showcase == |

| For the next release of Ubuntu we want to shake things up a little bit, and ship some content that shows off free culture artists. At the heart of Ubuntu's ethos is a belief in showcasing free software and free culture, and we think it would be an excellent opportunity to show off some free culture artists by putting their media on millions of Ubuntu systems around the word.

| * Your submission must be no larger than 1MB for the audio and 3MB for the video. * Upload your submission somewhere online (there are lots of free hosting solutions available such as archive.org). ''Do not'' email any of the organisers or judges with your submissions. * Add your entry to one of the tables below. * When the deadline for submissions closes, our panel of judges will pick a shortlist, and the Community Council will then pick the final winners from the shortlist. |
The free culture movement is a social movement that promotes the freedom to distribute and modify creative works in the form of free content. Our aim is to promote a culture of creativity and sharing which is embodied by Ubuntu and the open source software available for it. |

Ubuntu Free Culture Showcase
The Ubuntu Free Culture Showcase is an opportunity to show off high quality free culture content in Ubuntu.
