Photographer Wins AI Image Contest with Real Picture,
Then Gets Disqualified
A photographer submitted a real photograph to a contest for AI-generated pictures, and won the competition, as the judges believed it to be digitally made. Upon learning that the photographer, Miles Astray, had not used AI to produce the piece, he was disqualified.
Astray’s winning picture, a photograph of a flamingo whose head appears to be bent into its body, took first place in the AI category of the People’s Vote Award at the 1839 Photography Awards.
Astray still treated the debacle as a victory, writing, “I hope that winning over both the jury and the public with this picture, was not just a win for me but for many creatives out there”.
