The selection of the Art Creation Awards is actually quite different from the selection of the previous Tokyo Youth Painting Awards.

But the scale is much larger than that of Tokyo Youth Painting Appreciation.

The selection is primary selection, screening, review, and final selection.

The awards were increased to five, namely one gold reward, six hundred thousand yen plus the reward certificates of the five major art academies, two silver rewards, four bronze rewards, and three hundred thousand yen plus the reward certificate. In addition to the gold, silver and bronze rewards, the remaining efforts and rewards were established.

The selection criteria for hard-working appreciation are awards given by the workload of the work, while commendation is an award that encourages creators to continue their efforts and support them on the spiritual and material levels.

Both of these things only have bonuses and no reward certificates.

In addition to the establishment of awards, there are also various categories.

For example, the oil painting category that Higashinoji belongs to, and there are also photography and sculpture categories such as visual communication design... Anyway, there are all kinds of strange things.

Among them, oil painting is a popular one - because many art students only know oil painting, sculpture, and photography, they don’t even touch them.

Therefore, the oil painting category of this year's Art Creation Awards will inevitably cause a bloody storm, which is considered a severely affected area. I don't know how many people will be killed or injured to get the only gold reward.

Higashinoji didn't think so much.

He just took the phone in the noisy sound of the little girls, and walked to the relatively quiet balcony: "Is it Teacher Yamauchi? Is there anything you need to ask me?"

"Yeah." Yamauchi's first floor was silent for a while, then replied: "I went to get the thermos pot just now. Sorry, Higashino."

He took a sip of water and then said, "Let's talk about the serious business first. Three days later it will be the final selection of the Art Creation Awards, Higashino."

It is indeed the art creation award.

This is not as expected from Higashinoji.

"But the key is not the selection time of the Art Creation Awards, but the specific selection committee members." Yamauchi First Floor continued to smile and said: "I have to say, Higashino, you are really lucky. The selection committee members and award presentation committee members of the Art Creation Awards jointly organized by the five major art academies are mainly served by Ms. Noko Mano, the current Minister of Science of the Japanese Department of Culture and Culture..."

"Oh?" Higashinoji also showed a look of surprise.

The Minister of Science of the Ministry of Culture, which is the saying goes, the Minister of Science of the Ministry of Culture, is Japan's Minister of State, in charge of the Ministry of Culture, Science of the Ministry of Culture, Science, and is mainly responsible for the domestic affairs of education and art. Even if the unlucky prime minister of Japan wants to ask about education, he has to wait until the Ministry of Culture, Science of the Ministry of Culture, Science of the Ministry of Culture, Science of the Ministry of Culture, Science of the Ministry of Culture, Science of the Ministry of Culture, Science of the Ministry of Culture, Science of the Ministry of Culture, Science of the Ministry of Culture, Science of the People's Republic of China to pass the specific plan.

The size of his official position is approximately the same as the chief officers of the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, Culture, Religious Affairs Bureau, and Sports Bureau in the Celestial Dynasty.

In addition, there is also an award in Japan called the Minister of Science Award of the Ministry of Literature and Culture, which is mainly for those who have made great achievements in the art category.

This is a very big shot, no wonder Yamanuchi First Floor said Higashinoji was lucky.

If she could get the other party’s little appreciation...even if she knew her name... it would be a huge success.

But if you think about it carefully, Higashinoji thinks that it is not surprising that Nako Mano appears as the selection committee member and award presentation committee member.

After all, the five major art academies in Tokyo represent the most powerful art institution in Japan. As the Minister of Culture and Science, Mano Nako is of course obliged to attend such a grand event.

Not to mention that the Japanese cabinet has to re-appoint the Minister of Science of the Ministry of Culture and Culture, and of course, Noko Mano has to find an opportunity to show her face in front of the people.

Higashinoji thanked the first floor of Yamauchi while thinking.

After all, the other party did take a lot of effort to participate in this artistic creation award.

I believe that from the first floor of Yamauchi, Higashinoji should have entered Musashi Mi University steadily. His behavior now is also cultivating talents for Musashi Mi University.

As for Akisa Kuromiya next to Higashinoji...? She didn't participate in this grand prize competition at all, and devoted all her energy to this comic.

Since she worked so hard, she would definitely achieve corresponding results.

"The results of tomorrow's selection should come out. Do you need me to notify you directly? Or do you want to wait for the competition committee to notify you?"

Yamauchi First Floor asked Higashinoji thoughtfully before hanging up the phone.

He was worried that Higashinoji was too nervous, so he still wanted to notify Higashinoji in advance.

After all, oil painting is considered a severely affected area. The Japanese youth who contributed to the oil painting category are probably more than 40% of the total number of people in the entire art creation award... roughly calculated that there are about five or six thousand contestants, and this number of people... The competitive pressure is not too great.

"Please inform me in advance by Teacher Yamauchi." Higashinoji replied with a smile.

His attitude seemed calm and obviously nothing was nervous.

It is a skill to get it. If you don’t get it, you will work hard next time. How can there be so many twists and turns? Can you get a gold reward by hiding?

This is obviously unlikely.

Higashinoji discussed with Yamauchi's first floor for a while, then hung up the phone.

Thinking of the first floor of Yamauchi, Higashinoji couldn't help but nod.

It's true... there is something good about this Art Creation Award.

No matter what, as the days pass by day, the final evaluation day of the Art Creation Awards has finally arrived.

As a selection organized by the five major art academies in Japan, the judges are of course mainly selected from professors and tutors from various subjects of the five major art academies.

In addition, of course, some famous professional painters and professional sculptors will be invited to serve as judges, but the proportion of them is very small, which is to ask them to raise their heads, indicating that 'the art creation awards held by our five major art academies are fair and open' and are used to block the mouths of the media.

There are more than ten judges in total.

Yamauchi First Floor is not the highest among the professors in the oil painting disciplines of the five major art academies, and at most it is at the upper level. Therefore, among these more than ten people, he can only be regarded as a judge with a relatively speaking voice, but it is far from reaching the level of a veto.

Compared with the Tokyo Youth Painting Appreciation that Higashinoji participated in, the level of the Art Creation Award is undoubtedly much higher.

You should know that at that time, Yamauchi first floor had a veto power in Tokyo Youth Painting Appreciation, but it was completely impossible to put it here...at most it was just a suggestion.

If you really want to influence the overall situation...then it is probably Noko Mano, the Minister of Science of the Ministry of Literature and Culture.

As long as she speaks, basically the rest of them will agree.

First, we will conduct preliminary selection and store storage, cut more than 4,000 oil paintings from the five or six thousand works in the warehouse - and directly cut off two-thirds of the people.

This is too much elimination.

The remaining more than 2,000 works have entered the next screening stage.

The so-called screening means cutting 1,500 works from these more than 2,000 works, leaving 500 to enter the review stage - this knife was three-quarters, and countless people died. The degree of tragic is comparable to that of a world war.

Of course, there will be professors from other colleges to help screen... Otherwise, the dozen people in the review team would want to see five or six thousand works in three days... This is simply a joke.

The remaining 500 works that entered the review process can be officially evaluated by the review team.

In the end, 450 of these 500 were cut down, and fifty oil paintings were obtained to participate in the final selection. The number of people with one knife was nine out of ten, which was extremely bloody.

But after such strict screening and reduction, these fifty oil paintings only get the qualifications for the final selection.

There are only more than a dozen people who can win the prize in the end.

But in fact, this is the case with the regular awards. The Tokyo Youth Award is at most a competition held in Tokyo to face Tokyo students... Of course, it is different from the Art Creation Awards.

At this time, more than a dozen judges were sitting at the long table, with most male judges and few female judges. At this time, their expressions were more or less serious.

But in fact, as the judges present were mostly famous Japanese art professors, mentors and famous active painters, the psychological pressure was not great just to select these works.

But...

They couldn't help but sit on the top of the woman who looked at it.

He was a middle-aged woman with short hair. She looked over forty years old and had a plain face, giving people a feeling of dullness and gentleness.

But even such an ordinary middle-aged woman made everyone present dare not ignore her.

After all, she is the most spoken minister of the Ministry of Culture, Science and Technology, Mano, who has the most say in the field.

"Everyone can give it your best to choose, don't care about me." Nako Mano obviously felt the gazes that everyone looked over, so she smiled and nodded.

She is a simple politician, graduated from the Law Department of the University of Tokyo, so she doesn't know much about art. At most, she has come into contact with some things about education and art after entering the Ministry of Culture and Culture...

But that's just a little bit... How could it be comparable to the professors and painters of these famous art categories here?

So she was also very straightforward and came over to watch the fun and prepared to go on stage to present an award.

As for the results of the Art Creation Award?

To be honest, she doesn't care.

She took the initiative to join the judges, just to pave the way for her next political journey.

When they saw Mano Noko's statement, the professors on the first floor of Yamauchi were relieved and then they began to discuss the selected works.

This art creation award is very large in scale, and the quality of the works is uneven due to the complexity and variety of participants - there are many young people who have never learned art at all, and they also contributed their articles out of the mentality of "What if I win?"

Anyway, it won't be a loss if you try it.

For this reason, about half of the works placed in this exhibition room are works by college students of the five major art academies in Tokyo.

After all, how many genius students are there?

College students who have received formal and systematic art education among the top five art academies in Tokyo are of course born with advantages in the face of wild paths across the country.

Of course, this does not mean that the works submitted from other regions have not entered the final selection process... It is just that the number is relatively small, and the total number is similar to that of the five major art academies in Tokyo.

The deformed economy in the Tokyo Circle in Japan can also be seen.

"This painting "Climbing and Meteor" is good... The idea is very good. The person carrying mountaineering equipment always lowers his head and climbs upwards just to pursue the most beautiful scenery on the top of the mountain. However, when he lowers his head and walks hard, the beautiful scenery like meteors quietly passes over his head... It is very consistent with the theme of expressing regret for the beautiful things this time."

A professor from the Department of Oil Painting at the University of Tokyo Arts whispered: "I feel that silver rewards should be fine."

"...The idea is indeed OK, but the color and composition... I feel like I have some meaning."

"You said that, indeed... if you count the color and composition... this painting should be ranked as a bronze appreciation... Let's write it down first."

"Professor Tian Ze, please take a look at this painting "Jiaziyuan". The composition and color are very good, and the brushstrokes are also good, which makes it a bit of an impression. The tears of regret shed in the Jiaziyuan are shrouded in the fire-like sunset..."

"The colors and application are indeed in place, but in terms of conception, it is a bit cliché. Many students have used the theme of Jiaziyuan, right? There is nothing new to them."

"Yeah, that's right. It seems that I have to put it behind."

They discussed in a low voice, and put forward various opinions and brushed them down again.

This is the disadvantage that common causes of painting themes.

The contestants all chose the same theme, which resulted in the theme of many oil paintings being inconsistent.

Silver rewards and bronze rewards are fine, but gold rewards must be the kind of work that takes into account the theme of this award and does not miss the painting skills.

But good works are not that easy to find...

These scholars, active painters, and professors picked and chose for a while before they heard a voice: "Everyone, why not take a look at this painting "Summer is over."

This is exactly the sound on the first floor of Yamauchi.

The screening was very strong this time. Originally, the first floor of Yamauchi was worried that Higashinoji would not be able to enter the final selection, so he searched for a while in a hurry... but unexpectedly, it was on the wall behind him, which was considered dark under the standard light.

But since he found it, he would not hesitate and simply promoted Higashinoji's oil paintings to the judges present.

“Is summer over?”

Everyone raised their heads and couldn't help frowning as they listened to the title.

This title sounds like a natural landscape painting without any intention. This kind of painting is generally the least artistic value.

Because there is no human factor in it.

Just simply painting flowers, plants, painting some natural organisms and plants withering... How can this be of research value? They are all scenery that I have been used to seeing for a long time.

This art creation award is a competition of ideas and themes, and the skills must be put a little behind... As a result, a landscape painting was directly taken on the first floor of the mountain?

How did this painting enter the final selection process?

With this idea, most of the judges walked to the first floor of the mountain.
