The sultans of style tell me that chintzy flock is right back in fashion these days, but we're not talking about that kind of wallpaper. We're talking about the kind that makes the background of your computer screen (or chosen item of gadgetry) look snazz.

To highlight the new wallpaper feature of the new v3.0 software, the Share Skype blog is currently running a competition to design a Skype wallpaper. The contest runs until 13 January, and three winners will each receive a USB Internet Mini Phone from Skype's pals at US Robotics.

To enter, email your original wallpaper design (png or jpeg format) to this address along with your name, email address and Skype Name. Entries must be received by 11.59pm on 13 Jan, and winners will be published on the Share blog.
