The rules of Talk Talk korea for Arts and Craf Category
Submission Guidelines : submit both the original images and a making-of video
- Image: Drawn on paper measuring 210mm × 297mm (A4, ISO 216 standard) and then scanned
- Computer graphics: Created at a resolution of 2953 x 4169 pixels and 300 dpi
- Making-of video: Produced in Full HD (1920x1080) resolution and under 5 minutes long
The rules explicitly obligated all artists to submit a "making of" video alongside their finished artwork. This was not a suggestion or an optional extra; it was a strict requirement for a valid entry. The making-of video and the final artwork had to be submitted together, at the same time. It is not sufficient for a participant to now provide proof or evidence that they created the work. The deadline for this proof was the moment of submission. Allowing someone to retroactively fulfill a mandatory requirement undermines the entire rulebook and is unfair to everyone who followed the instructions correctly.
The making-of was an integral part of the contest, designed to document the creative process from start to finish. Proof provided after the fact does not serve the same purpose. It is important to recognize that the making-of video itself was a substantial piece of work. Everyone had the same amount of time to complete both their final piece and the video. Therefore, it is completely unjust for a participant to win the final prize without having submitted one of the two mandatory components that defined the contest. This person, by not having a making-of video submitted on time, effectively entered an incomplete project.
All of us who participated in the art category followed the rules in good faith. We invested our time and effort into both the artwork and the making-of, believing that adherence to the rules was the foundation of a fair competition.
