DECLARATION
Ministry of Education and Culture
of 5 March 1965
on the competition rules for works of art
One of the means to ensure the ever-rising level of art works is to organise competitions for art works. The Ministry of Education and Culture, in agreement with the central authorities involved, and with the institutions provided for in Section 508 (1) of the Civil Code, provides, in order for the competitions to be carried out on a consistent basis and thereby ensure a responsible evaluation of works of fine arts:
Preliminary provisions
(1) This decree publishes a competition order for competitions in all fields of art, i.e. especially in the field of painting, sculpture, graphics, used art and industrial art.
(2) The purpose of the competition is to obtain ideas, designs, models, prototypes, etc. the most valuable in terms of art and in the fields of art used and industrial art, as well as economic, technological and functional. The competition is to be encouraged by the creative initiative of both individuals and creative groups in dealing with serious and important tasks.
(3) The competition is written for the creation of works of art, designs, models, designs, prototypes, etc., which are important by their mission or subject, can act by their publicity on a wide range of layers of the people or mean the artistic enrichment of our life, especially in production industries, or to contribute to the application of our art abroad. The principles of efficiency and economy must be respected when listing it.
Author of the competition
(1) The competition can be written by a state body or socialist organisation after prior discussion with the Association of Czechoslovak Artists, or according to the character of the competition and the Association of Architects of the CSSR, in international competitions also with the Ministry of Education and Culture.
(2) If the declarant is not the Ministry or any other central authority, the authority directly superior to the declarant shall authorise the publication of the contest. The authorising authority shall verify the effectiveness of the competition and verify that its financial compensation is ensured.
Types of competition
(1) The competition may be listed as unlimited, limited or narrower.
(2) In the case of unlimited competitions, persons not specified shall be invited to submit proposals; these contests are anonymous, or according to the nature of the task and non-anonymous.
(3) In restricted competitions, they are invited to submit a proposal by a person; these contests are non-anonymous and may be attended by uninvited persons without a fee for the creation of a proposal (§ 10 (4)).
(4) If it is not possible, after the completion of one of the competitions referred to in paragraphs 2 and 3, to determine who is to be the author of the final design or execution of the work (§ 11), the author may issue a closer competition that follows the previous competition. Closer competitions are non-anonymous and participants in the previous competition may be invited to participate, as a general rule in the order in which they were assessed in this competition. The content of the narrower competition must not differ significantly from the content of the previous competition, except for changes resulting from their results.
Participants
(1) Czechoslovak nationals or foreign nationals permanently resident in the territory of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic may participate in the competition. Other foreign nationals may participate in international competitions. Individuals and creative groups with an unlimited number of designs, models, models, prototypes (alternatives) may participate in the competition.
(2) The members and alternates of the jury and the staff involved in the organisation of the competition or in the assessment of their results may not participate in the competition; the exemption for non-anonymous competitions may in exceptional cases be authorised by the Ministry of Education and Culture.
Issue of competition
(1) The author of the competition will discuss the award of the competition, the composition of the jury and the conditions of the competition with the Association of Czechoslovak Artists, if it is also an architectural work, the Association of Architects of the CSSR.

Jury
(1) The competitive proposals submitted shall be examined by a jury consisting of members and their alternates. The members and alternates shall be appointed by the subscriber; members and alternates who represent the Association of Czechoslovak Artists or the Association of Architects of the CSSR shall be appointed on the proposal of these associations. The members of the panel shall also be representatives of the writer or his superior body and representatives of the workers' organisations. For competitions for works of art, which are part of architectural projects, the author of this project is always a member of the jury.
(2) According to the importance and scope of the competition, the jury has 5-9, exceptionally up to 15 members with a decisive vote, always an odd number. In order to ensure the expertise of the jury, the author shall appoint members of the jury to make up the majority of the representatives of the unions.
(3) The jury has the right to invite experts with an advisory vote, if necessary, with the agreement of the author.
Secretaries of the competition
(1) The secretary of the competition is appointed by the writer. The competition secretary organises the acceptance of received proposals, the issuing of confirmation of their takeover, the storage of designs and envelopes with the names of authors and ensures the distinction of designs marked with the same passwords, the formal examination of the competition proposals in terms of the conditions of the competition and the result is communicated to the jury, the record of the jury's deliberations, the organisation of the exhibition of competition proposals etc. In its work, it shall ensure that proposals are only accessible to the panel until the end of the panel's deliberations.
(2) The Secretariat of the competition is obliged to provide a comprehensive explanation to all competitors who have picked up the competitive conditions, documents and aids. At the latest by the end of the first quarter of the period of competition, the author may convene the contestants for an information meeting.
Meeting of the jury
(1) Prior to the announcement of the competition, the jury secretary shall convene a meeting to which the members of the jury shall elect a chairman and a vice-chairman, discuss the conditions and supporting documents and determine the next procedure.
(2) Within 14 days of the expiry of the competitive period, the chairman of the panel shall convene a report from the Secretary on the proposals received and exclude from the examination any proposals which do not meet the conditions of competition, except those referred to in paragraph 6.
(3) The President of the jury shall request from all persons participating in the jury's work a written statement that they will perform their duties impartially and in the interests of the socialist society, that they have neither directly nor indirectly participated in the works of competition proposals (unless the exemption provided for in Paragraph 4 (2) has been granted) that they do not know the names of the authors of the submitted proposals in anonymous contests, that they remain silent about the deliberations of the jury and that they are not close to a competitor in the limited and restricted competitions. The person who does not make this declaration may not take part in any further deliberations of the panel; if acting contrary to this statement, the jury shall decide on its exclusion from further proceedings.
(4) The panel is capable of a quorum if at least two thirds of its members or alternates representing the absent members of the panel are present. The alternates in this case have a decisive vote. At least one representative of the writer must always be present.
(5) The jury shall vote by an absolute majority, unless otherwise specified in this decree.
(6) The jury may exceptionally decide by two thirds of the votes of the members present, with the agreement of the writer's representative, to allow for consideration proposals which do not meet the conditions of competition but which provide a significant creative solution to the task. This provision shall not apply in cases where the author breaks anonymity or fails to comply with the deadline.
(7) In the next round of negotiations, the jury assesses the idea of ideas and artistic processing of proposals, gradually excluding works of less value and deciding on the distribution of prices and rewards in the final round.
(8) If the work resulting from the cooperation of the artist and architect is carried out, the jury may, depending on the nature of the work, assess the work of both the artist and architect separately.
(9) A record shall be drawn up of each meeting of the panel, which shall contain a detailed presentation of the hearing and shall include the instrument of the persons present.
(10) Members of the panel shall have the right to justify their views in the minutes of the hearing, deviating from those of the majority of the panel.
(11) The minutes shall be signed by all members of the jury who participated in the hearing. The entries will be presented for public consultation at the competition design exhibition.
Prices, rewards, fees for works created
(1) There are usually three prizes in the competition. Their level is determined according to the importance of the difficulty and scope of the competition task. The second price does not normally exceed 60% and the third 40% of the first price. The amount to be used for remuneration in addition to the prices may not be exhausted.
(2) Prices shall be awarded by the jury at the end of the hearing; He may agree not to award any prize. Exceptionally, the jury may split the amount determined by other means, if two thirds of the votes of the members present are agreed upon, in anonymous competitions before the names of the authors are found. If a certain amount is saved, the jury may increase the fee item by this amount.
(3) If the proposal is not awarded a price, a reward may be awarded to its author, according to the conditions of competition, at the level determined by the jury. The remuneration shall not exceed the amount fixed for the lowest price.
(4) Invited participants of limited and narrower competitions are entitled to a fee for creating a proposal of the amount specified in the terms of the competition. The conditions of the competition may provide that uninvited participants in such competitions whose proposals have been awarded may be awarded a fee equal to the fee for the creation of works invited by the participants.
(5) The prices, rewards and fees for the creation of the works awarded in the competition do not include the royalties and their award does not give the author the right to use the work.
Implementation of the definitive design or work
(1) A definitive proposal or work shall be made by the author whose proposal has been recognised by the jury as feasible and honoured by the first prize. If the first prize has not been awarded, the author shall discuss with the jury whether the execution of the final design or work shall be entrusted to the competitor who has been honoured with the next prize in the order, or if there is a closer competition. The author will not be awarded a final design or work, if the author voluntarily gives up this task by written declaration.
(2) The opinion of the jury is bound by the author.
Publication of competition results
(1) The result of the competition must be published in the same way as the publication of the competition (Section 5 (2)) within one month of the jury's decision, together with the indication of the place and time of the exhibition of the competition proposals under the competitive conditions.
(2) Proposals must be drawn up within two months of the date of the decision of the panel. For proposals honoured by price or reward and marked as such, the names of authors shall be indicated. In anonymous competitions, unless it is an award-honored proposal, only if the author agrees to name it.
(3) If designs, designs, models, etc. are to be protected according to the rules on the protection of industrial designs, the jury will draw the attention of the authors to the need to submit an application for protection under these regulations before the publication of the competition proposal.
(4) Proposals undermining the importance of the competition may be excluded from the exhibition by a jury of two thirds majority.
Final provisions
(1) The jurors, their alternates and experts with an advisory vote, if they are not employees of the writer, or if this activity is not part of their duties, shall be remunerated in accordance with special rules or shall be reimbursed in accordance with special rules for travel and other expenses.
(2) For competitions in which the architect's work plays a leading role, it is necessary to use the StateCommittee's Decree on Construction No. 154 / 1959 Ú. l., on the Competition Regulations for Conceptual Project Solutions. If it is not possible to determine in advance which of the subjects will have a leading role in solving the competition challenge, the author shall, after consulting the Association of Czechoslovak Artists and the Association of Architects of the CSSR, adjust the conditions of the competition to be adapted to both competition rules.
(3) These rules of competition do not apply to competitions which are not public (in-house competition).
This decree shall take effect on the date of its publication and shall apply to competitions awarded after that date.
