Get your photo(s) to the official Jolla ambience gallery!

(please scroll down for the TERMS & CONDITIONS)

image description

Many of you already know what a Sailfish OS ambience is. To put it very simply, it is the mood of the user interface composed from a chosen photo. In addition to being the wallpaper of the lock screen when you double tap the device open, it also sets the general mood and colors used everywhere in the device. With Sailfish OS ambiences you can even customize the sounds associated with each. Thus, it is definitely something that truly matters in the whole user experience.

In Sailfish OS there are a number of pre-selected ambiences, which come pre-installed in the devices, both in the smartphone now and the tablet in the future. Additionally we include selected photos in the image gallery for further ambience options, or just for your viewing pleasure.

Campaign: New ambience/gallery photos from our community

We are now planning and designing new ambiences and gallery images mainly for the Jolla Tablet – some of these might be used for the Jolla smartphone as well. Here is your chance to be part of this. Submit your photo(s) and you might get featured in official Jolla products!

Jolla’s Design Team will review all the submitted photos and handpick a number of them to be featured on the Jolla Tablet, and possibly on the Jolla smartphone. We will also show all our favorite pics (that were not picked) in the Jolla Blog.

Procedure for entering

The simple steps for the Jolla Ambience Photo Campaign are:

  1. Take a photo (or photos) or choose your favorite(s) from your existing photos. The shots we are looking for should represent a mood/emotion, such as work, party, sport, happy, calm etc. You can define what the mood is. You can submit several entries, but please don’t overdo it – quality matters here!
  2. The chosen photo(s) should have a minimum size of 2048×2048 px. If your image is larger, it can be either portrait or landscape – in the end it needs to work both ways. You can use whatever equipment you have to take the photos.
  3. Read and understand the terms and conditions found below.
  4. Go here and fill in the required information to the fields and submit your photo(s).
  5. The chosen photos will be showcased and credited first in the Jolla blog when the campaign ends, and later in the actual Jolla products. We’ll also publish our favorite photos that were not selected for the actual product.

The Jolla Ambience Photo Campaign is open from April 15 to May 15, 2015.

Now get your photo gear, and find the perfect shot. We can’t wait to see what you‘ve got!

Jolla team.

@Okw Fame and glory by getting featured in Jolla devices? :)

This is not a competition/contest. Sometimes the "best" photos may not be the most suitable to be used as an ambience. We might think about something extra for those whose photos are picked for the gallery, however all submissions have our sincere gratitude!

Nice idea! I'd like to take part. However the only camera I have is the one in my Jolla, which does not suffice the requirements in terms of resolution. Shall I send in my entry anyway?
