Google’s got a free Pixel 6 for whomever can create the best wallpaper
Look, we get it:everything’s expensivethese days. Whether you’re buying a bike, a home, or even just some food, chances are you’re paying more (and getting less) than you were a few years ago. Big-ticket purchases like a new smartphone can feel particularly out of reach, but Google’s throwing a bone to one talented Pixel fan, offering a shiny newPixel 6to whomever comes up with thebest wallpaper.
OK, so what’s Google looking for here? Thankfully, if you take the time to dive into thecontest’s rules, the company spells out exactly how it’s going to evaluate submissions. It’s specifically looking forentriesthat:
Those are the big ones (with the selfie cam given the most weight), but submissions should also avoid any third-party copyrighted stuff, or anything even potentially offensive — no surprises there. Google provides ahandy templateyou can use to frame things up, and your entry can be either original artwork or a photo — whatever you think would look best.
The contest is refreshingly not restricted to just the US this time around, and is also open to people in Australia, Canada (but not Quebec — they know what they did), Japan, Taiwan, and the UK. You have two weeks, until August 23, to get your entry in, and winners will be chosen on September 9.Good luck!
