FAQ

• What is the consent to collect personal information? The Personal Information Protection Act (Act No. 10465 of March 29, 2011) stipulates matters related to personal information processing to promote the rights and interests of the people and to realize personal dignity and value by protecting privacy secrets from collection, leakage, misuse, and abuse. Personal information protection requires consent to the purpose of use and the provision of personal information to third parties when collecting personal information online or offline.
• How many works can I apply for? You can register up to three per person. ※ You have to apply once per work, and if you apply for 3 works, you have to apply a total of 3 times.
• What's the standard for the entries? It should be taken after January 1, 2024. The length of the long face must be at least 1,920 pixels long and the metadata (such as the date) must be resolvable.
• What's the application period? The application period is from June 4th to July 31st, 2024 in Korean Time.
• I heard that you can't apply for a composite photo, but is it absolutely impossible to edit it? Composite photos are not subject to review. Adjusting dark areas, bright areas, hues, and saturation through software such as Photoshop should only be used to make it more like the scene you wanted to take a picture of. Excessive correction can be disadvantageous for screening.
• Can I submit it only online? Yes, you can only apply online through the homepage.
• Is there any problem with portrait rights if the face of an unknown person is taken in the picture? The issue of the portrait rights of the photography must be resolved before submission, and the artist himself is solely responsible for legal problems in the future.
