RE: iTALENT CONTEST | "NEW CONTEST" | 100 STEEM mo. Rewards | All Talents | Auditory Arts - Visual Arts - Performing Arts
I love the initiative, but I suggest removing the part with visual requirements for most of the categories. It puts musicians and some other at disadvantage, good part of musicians express themselves because that is the way how they express themselves the best.
Creating videos might make them discomfortable and steer them away from this contest.
Hi @tripdespider cool of you to drop in with you insights, see below the explanation
You Can Read iTalent Rules Here
I read it. There are other ways of proving authenticity. For example, we are regularly posting the music by team member of our group profile here, and to avoid all suspiction of plagiarism he has also added link to our steemit profile on his soundcloud.
Would it be ok for a sculptor for example with his sculpture next to a paper with his steemit account name written on it? If such proofs are okay I believe it will be fine. I just think that insisting on a video isn't necessary.
@tripdespider but then you could take a picture next to any sculpture and make a soundcloud with other artists music, I have few SC accounts and one of them is quite new with just few followers, who is to prove that I haven't just made it to present the music as my own
iTalent goal is to get Steemit artist closer, not just make it as another reward giveaway on steemit, it is both the competition and a co-operative field for Steemit artists, making descriptive videos helps audience see the art piece/music from a artists point of view, this is why people still go to concerts to feel that ooze from the artist they came to see.
Taking photo of other's sculpture can be prevented by asking for two photos in different stages of making the sculpture.
But you have a point considering second paragraph of your comment. If you are going for artists that will communicate with the audience this is actually a great concept. Taking that in regard my previous remarks are meaningless :)
@tripdespider yes but you can also download pictures from another artist diary with stages of sculpture (there is many online and people are known to claim other people's work)
I am glad you understand the concept and hope I will see you enter the contest in the future
