Can you prove that this is really made by that artist and not similar crafted or store bought item?

I saw QR code. But i cant see whats there

The onus is on submitter to present sufficient evidence to convince reviewer. I saw the link about the artist but i am still not sure if its the same item or just something similar

Aside from the linked newspaper article with the photo showing him in the process of placing it, no. How exactly would I prove that? The newspaper article is sufficient.

The QR code goes to the story on the artist’s web site. The link is provided.

What a cute idea, is there kind of a trail around the park of these gnomes? Sounds like a great thing to highlight with PoIs

Yes. I think there are 8 different gnomes with stories.

This is going to sound ridiculous, and I hate myself for saying this, but this might be a #signfarer moment where the appeals team would have accepted easily if the main image was not of the super cool item itself but instead the boring sign for it containing the QR code :sweat_smile::sob:

I would hope staff here could see this and overturn the rejection for you, but that would be something I’d try if not - then add the gnome pictures after acceptance

It’s been accepted. Thanks for the support :slightly_smiling_face: .
