Debian has opened a call for community artwork submissions for its upcoming Forky (Debian 14) release, according to Ars Technica. The submission deadline is November 26.
The selected artwork could appear on boot screens, login prompts, and desktop wallpapers. Submissions must feel distinctively Debian, integrate without patching core software, and remain visually appealing over the long term.
Debian's release names echo characters from the Toy Story animated films. Trixie, a triceratops introduced in Toy Story 3, gave its name to Debian 13, while Forky comes from the fourth film.
Elise Couper's "Ceratopsian" theme was chosen as the winning default artwork for Debian 13 Trixie. Debian celebrated its 33rd anniversary in August 2026, and its latest point release, Trixie 13.7, arrived on September 12, 2026.
