Every cycle the Ubuntu project calls for people to submit their ideas for release countdown banners – small images that can be embedded in websites that update every day until they reach 0 when Ubuntu is released.

This cycle is no different, and the winning three countdown banners were chosen earlier today. Here they are!

Congratulations to the winners, in order from top to bottom, Riku Lu, Anatoliy Babchuk (takashtuka) and Dave (I Heart Ubuntu).

To use these countdown banners on your website, head on over to the countdown wiki page to grab the embed code. Enjoy!
