On Tuesday night, the jury of the XXI Poster Competition of Fallas He chose from among more than 30 works "Menina Fallera", Nieves Aranda and Fernando Moncho.
Shortly after publishing on our website photo of the winning poster, several comments were recorded for the resemblance to the poster that was released in Valencia 2010 work of Rafael Vilches.
"It reminds me of the 2012 Fallas card", Told Lucas on Facebook.
"I think the poster is very nice ... but isn't it almost, almost, almost, are we going practically the same as in Valencia in 2010?", Published Cristina on our website.
"It is practically the same one that won in Valencia in 2010. I agree that" inspiration "is part of creation. But from" inspiration "to" plagiarism "there is a fine line"He opined Sus.
But not only our user saw the resemblance between the two cartels: the president of Local Board itself, Jaume Bertomeu, Alerted the department of culture and even the author of the Valencia cartel contacted with the consistory.
The mayor of Culture, Pepa Font, has decided that it is the legal services that decide if the cartel could incur a crime for plagiarism, but until they know their verdict, they will keep the work of Aranda and Moncho, who left yesterday afternoon this writing on our website:
"We are two graphic designers who live and work in the world of design. As professionals we have participated in numerous competitions, in fact on many occasions we have been able to see how some participants are tempted to plagiarize the work of other authors.
But one thing is partial or casual coincidence of a chromatic scale or motif and another a simple exercise of plagiarism. Claim that the headlining a poster is copied because it is a faller of absurdity. We do not even deserve an answer, if it were not for the stupefaction that has left us. Clearly, we have our tastes and admire many designers and artists in general, like any professional, but these criticisms are ill-intentioned, painful and unjust. We have spent a long time preparing forward to this contest, Sketching, documentándonos, looking textures,
shapes, colors, etc. It is very sad that we now hear these comments, anonymous, that tarnish much work.
For our part we have nothing more to say, if we encourage you to reflect a little more before giving your opinion. "
The jury reconvened yesterday afternoon to select a work reserve in case of being forced to remove the selected in the first instance.
no et moriries perque or tens vergonna or coneixes
On top designers are offended, I hope the sign is changed for the good of all
Soc mare d'una xica student of «Belles Arts» at the Faculty of València. The meua filla gaudix both from the serious studies that no ix de festa, is always working on the career projects. I have seen traure of them seues mans moltes idees for a mateix treball, and from vegades remind them that jo ja I have seen her not. I will not excuse anyone who plagiarizes an altre, but I stopped for a moment and thought if I did not grasp the possibility of the coincidence. They are so many caps thinking about a mateix theme that sembles almost impossible that cap does not have an idea semblant a la d´un altre. If they accuse me unjustly, I would feel like dying, of shame and outrage !.
And I say ... what do the legal services of the city council think, that the head and torso of the fallera is traced (literally) to that of the Sonia Montalt poster? "We are two graphic designers who live and work in the world of design," say the cheeks. Who live off the work of others, I would say ... Shameful !!!!
It is not a copy, it's a bad copia.Si you do not know you copy not copy as many in all competitions and evil is that I am ashamed when I see them.
It is clearly a plagiarism, and it has to unqualify, just call the bases of the contest. The fault lies not with the jurat, it is with the one who has plagiarized. But it is necessary to act accordingly.
I sincerely write a document to the city council, signed by the q we have been contestants in this edition
In case the solution does not please, can not we denounce pels nostres mitjans?

you have loaded the contest by plagiarists not only because of the similarity of the Valencian poster, which for me would not be plagiarism ... but that the central body of the fallera is traced to an illustration of the Valencian Sonia Montalt,
That has a crime.
Thank you.
He had not given much importance to like at first, but the more they compare with Valencia 2010 and the work of Sonia Montalt most blatant is the resemblance. They should automatically remove it, not so much the municipality but the authors also apologize themselves. Today everything is on the Internet and runs something like wildfire.
It is already sent.
What seems strong to me is not that people are inspired by a poster that they liked, okay, they have good taste. But… what about the jury? If they are professionals in the sector, with this choice, they have disappointed a lot.
Todos os calentais head that your poster is unique and unprecedented.
Congratulations to all participants. Hopefully do the right thing.
It is unfortunate that the juarado is not fixed before giving
their verdict, and see how does the jury so preipitada, this sobering for years.
Alba, would it be too much to ask enviases that link to Local Board Denia? It is very strong what is happening, very strong
Encara mes descarat si cap. In fi…….
My humble opinion, as a contestant of the contest (I will not give more information), is that it is shameful that this happens. The most similar poster cannot be, it only remains to narrow the skirt and remove it full body, but the face of the fallera is the same, the aesthetics the same, the technique very similar, the chromaticism very similar ... and the only thing that differs it is in the vector used and in the S, nothing else.
It is more than obvious that a LOCAL poster identifies the LOCALITY, but it is very clear that this poster should not look so much like the CENTRAL party, let's say it like that. It's ... like settling for breadcrumbs.
The participants should make a joint letter as a complaint, because if users of websites, forums, etc. you have seen it the first time, don't tell me that the two designers have NEVER seen the Vilches poster…. Let's go…
and the body of the figure of the faller is of this poster ...

They want more?
partial or casual coincidence? Jo ho veig descarat.
Però bé Denia pel i de les nostres the falles, deurien of triar cartell altre.
It is true that it has been able to serve as an inspiration, I do not know, but it provides them vaig: the gamma of colors is quasi the mateixa, the position of the menina is identical to the cartell of Valencia, sols changes the shape of the face, in profile. Inclos, the tratge occupies, like the 2010 card, mitg cartell. Fer a type of cartell like this is a difficult and laborious work, but we cannot "touch" the name of the failures of Dénia and we risk that they accuse them (as a fan of the city in forums and in the cap i casal) d'un «plagiarism» that is not fetched to posts. But, from the bottom of the view; the cartell is a passada,
