My question is pretty simple and straight forward
How are the wonderful wallpapers selected in each version?
How would I be able to contribute some of my own photos as official backgrounds?
Cheers

Wallpapers are selected by Clem. Some he finds on the Internet. Some he gets from photographers that email him their submission. Not every submission gets included.
If you do make a submission, kindly include what license you are sharing the photos under, your name, and optionally the link to your photography website or profile. You can view this information for other photographers in the Credits file that you can find in /usr/share/backgrounds/linuxmint-releasename/ directory. You can display all the Credits files on your system with this command:
You can send your submission to root@linuxmint.com with subject "Wallpaper submission". Include what license you are sharing the photos under and your real name, so we can comply with your copyrights.

The Artwork section of this forum is a good place to start. I suggest you read the old post by Clem (right near the top) about the importance of keeping wallpapers "open source", as this would be one of the main reasons which wallpapers make it into Mint's distributions . .
