Case chronology
Photographer of the Year 2023 entry information specifies AI restrictions
The 2023 entry information requires entrants to take images themselves with a camera and excludes AI-generated images and generative additions. The creative category permits composites of entrants' own photographs, but not AI imagery.
Research question
a photography competition distinguishes freedom in digital compositing from generative AI through requirements on source material; even the creative category retains the entrant's own photography requirement.
