No, kindly do your groundwork before forming conclusions and starting
new processes. It hasnt started for this Natty cycle. 
As mentioned earlier, there is a section for illustrations too.

More info that the process is not closed:
<https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-art/2010-November/012476.html>
Already announced on this very same artwork-mailing list.

Also see gobby document : "multimedia-design-n-freeculture-showcase" 

<https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/multimedia-design-n-freeculture-showcase>
You were already subscribed to the blueprint. And I'v just moved the
gobby document contents to the blueprint.

If you are having trouble finding resources or plans for the upcoming
cycle, just ask. Someone who knows, where they could be located, will
just direct you.
This rash behavior is starting to get highly counter-productive and
bordering on being disruptive.
