Recently, a netizen posted on a social platform that he was a college student who participated in the jewelry design competition jointly organized by Perfect World and Weekly Student . After winning the third prize, he found that the prize money changed from 4,000 yuan to 500 yuan. The netizen questioned that the competition party "scam copyright" and "discriminate academic qualifications."
The Paper html learned from Zhou Dasheng on August 7 that there were misunderstandings between the two parties that the awards won by the aforementioned netizens are not within the 18 awards originally set, but are awards added by the competition party thereafter. They will issue a joint statement with Perfect World.
htmlOn the morning of August 8, Perfect World and Zhou Dasheng issued a joint statement on Weibo saying that the online rumor that the awards won by He were added in the later stage of the competition and were not included in the original award. It has been confirmed that the student's works are not used for any commercial purposes.
August 1, the aforementioned netizen posted on Xiaohongshu that the "2021 Perfect World Cultural and Creative Campus Design Competition" he participated in was sponsored by Perfect World, and Zhou Dasheng was a sponsor and judge. He won the third prize in this competition, but after getting the prize, he found that it was inconsistent with the original "4,000 yuan" on the competition promotion poster.
"Two months after signing the contract, our college students reported in the group that the amount of money and the official website said was different. Perfect World told us that this group of college students who won the award were all college award-winning groups that were not evaluated in order to encourage everyone." The netizen said that he signed a copyright transfer contract without knowing it, and the copyright of the work was suspected to have been cheated of the low price.
htmlOn August 3, the netizen added under the post that Zhou Dasheng contacted him and said that Zhou Dasheng's bonus was given to the undergraduate group, and the college bonus was paid by Perfect World Company. "Zhou Dasheng did not perform the contract to provide bonus sponsorship as the sponsor, but he had the right to use my copyright..."Regarding the netizen's statement, the aforementioned statement stated that the organizer of the "2021 Perfect World Cultural and Creative Campus Design Competition" Jewelry Design Competition is Perfect World Holding Group Co., Ltd. . The competition's Jewelry Design competition originally had 18 awards, and the bonus sponsor was Zhou Dasheng. After the above list of professional awards and evaluations were shortlisted, in order to encourage more students' enthusiasm for creation, the organizer decided to add an additional "Vocational College Award" based on the original awards after discussion. This part of the bonus is formed by the budget allocated by Perfect World Holdings Group in addition to the overall bonus pool. He won the additional "third prize in vocational colleges", with a pre-tax bonus of 500 yuan. During this process, it may be that the new award name settings are similar to the main award settings, which has caused some misunderstandings to He.
The aforementioned statement stated that the speculation about "acquire the copyright of students' 's original work at a low price" is not true. All kinds of notices and official websites at the beginning of the competition have stated that "the right to sign the shortlisted and winning works belongs to the contestants, and all other intellectual property rights belong to the contest organizers", and the prize amount is set according to the prize order, with high and low levels, and there is no purpose or act of obtaining the copyright of the original works of the contestants using "low prices". It was verified that He's winning works were not used for any commercial purposes.
Regarding the reasons, number of bonuses and amount of bonuses for the additional "Vocational College Awards", the aforementioned statement stated that the organizer had communicated with the team instructors of participating vocational colleges in advance, and the instructor explained the students. The instructor of the school where He is located is also aware of the situation and has communicated with him. The award ceremony of the competition on December 23 last year was also awarded additional "Vocational College Awards".
