Kontact Logo Competition Gets Serious
=====================================

   Kontact [http://kontact.org/] started a competition
[http://kde-artists.org/main/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,48/expv,0/topic,352.0]
for a new logo earlier this month; where the winning logo will become
the official logo at the next release.  Now we found a sponsor to back
the competition to give a Wacom tablet to the artist that created the
winning logo.

     Kontact is the application that can bring order to your life by
managing your contact addresses, emails and appointments in a mature and
professional manner.  In the upcoming release of Kontact, together with
KDE 3.5
[http://developer.kde.org/development-versions/kde-3.5-release-plan.html],
there have been various changes we are very excited about, usability
reviews have been done and a lot of deployments have resulted in a
smoother operation when backed with the groupware backends like Kolab.
 [http://kolab.org]
     The KDE e.V. [http://www.kde.org/areas/kde-ev/] will sponsor the
contest for a new logo by providing a prize to be given to the winning
entry.  The price will be a Wacom Graphire A5 tablet, which works great
with paint applications like Krita.

     The new logo will be used in icons for application and menu entries
and documentation.  Next to that, a new website and advertising or
t-shirts will use the logo so be prepared to let lots of people see your
work!
