“The best works came out, befitting the first year of digital art.
The winning works of the 1st Korea NFT Digital Art Competition, which opened a new horizon of digital art, are coming out to the world. The opportunity to directly purchase and own 50 of Korea's best NFT works that have passed 4 rounds of strict screening will soon open.
Out of a total of 2,200 entries, 1 Grand Prize, 6 Gold Awards, and 43 Excellence Awards selected through fierce competition will be traded. Transactions will begin in mid-May on Upbit's NFT marketplace.
The Korea NFT Digital Art Competition is the largest NFT competition in Korea held with the goal of selecting 'pioneers of digital art trends'. The competition was hosted by Maeil Business and hosted by Yellowstone and Mblock Company. Sponsored by Dunamu, the Federation of Korean Arts and Cultural Organizations, the Korean Art Association, FSN, 300 Feet, Fluem Tech, TALKET, Korea Designers Council, Gallery UHM, and The One Art World. The response was enthusiastic from the beginning of the competition. A total of 2,200 entries were submitted during the two-month application period, reaffirming the reputation of 'Korea's largest NFT festival'.
Due to the large number of entries, the screening process was increased from the original 3 to 4 rounds. After the preliminary screening and the first and second screenings, the final screening, the third round, was followed by an interview with the artists. LG Electronics' 65-inch OLED TV was used for the screening in order to select works with the highest quality. When the work was displayed on the OLED screen, the judges evaluated the work while appreciating it.
The works selected for 50 points will be sequentially introduced through the pages of the Maekyung Economy starting in May, and then traded in the Upbit NFT Marketplace. The start of trading is mid-May.
'Garden organ factory', a video work by Jungho Bang, was selected as the grand prize for this contest. A detailed list of selected works will be announced on the Maekyung Economy website.
