    So, the theme is basically a movie wallpaper?

    If it's a poster, then dimensions should be 900x1600 but it wouldn't be a regular desktop wallpaper unless viewed on a vertical monitor. ;)

    Aye. Any poster you want to make. A mash up, sequel, prequel, new idea. spoof, completely imagined by yourself.

    I'm in the UK and we use quad movie posters which are horizontal as ooposed to the vertical ones in the US. I suppose the ratio would be closer to 1200x900.

    I dare say that for now we can be flexible and say that the poster has to be within 1600/1200x900.

    Not everyone uses those resolutions though. Besides, will you even use any of the WOTWs as your own? If so, you can simply center it and try to match the background colour with the wallpaper's if possible.

    No big deal I guess...

    Well we can change it but i really would have like it if you guys hadn't waited this long to speak up about it. Mine is nearly done.

    The rules weren't set in stone and we were testing things.

    State your ideas now so we can move on.

    i don't see resolution as an issue, a hundred pixels or so at this size isn't important, not like with a sig. why not just make them whatever size fits your own monitor? doesn't matter if not everyone's is the same.
