@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
