Just checked and found a Honorable Mention Prize!!! Great! Thank You! When I brought the Huge Bud inside to show, she said hold up a banana, it's a trend on social media now. I've since seen many. One was a 4000 pound block of cheese with a banana on top for size? 😏 Thanks Again. Chuck.

@question_a_pig, They have said they are going to remove it from the contest. so that's a bonus. it part of the pined post in the comments/replies at the top of this page.

thank you for the highest rating of my photo. I am glad for the gold cup and the opportunity to grow something from your genetics. and of course to make a diary and new beautiful photos🙂

@RickSanchez, Bro we are trully and fully sorry for this situation here! But we are pretty new to this platform, and we didnt know about "Trolls" and "Scammers" here. Now we doing a discussion with our full team and researching all profiles here at our competition. We want to make everything fair and legit, also we dont want to send our seeds to users that"cheated" and used AI pictures for competition. YES we know how the bud looks and grows, but we didnt thought that Diaries with "smiley face" after the diary name can be fake and not legit.... so now we know and we are willing to do our best to change the situation right now. We apologize that whole thing with our winners list went wrong and somehow AI cheater was picked up as a winner. Jah bless friends! I think its not a really big deal to just delete this BRAHMA user from winners list and change him for a fair one. Also we will ask GD to ban his account, we will see how it goes... Big love to all of you😇

@IZISEEDBANK, dog doctor is a real user and all there pics are always legit.

@IZISEEDBANK, its your event. You as a seed bank should know how weed looks and grows. AI generated picture looks absolutely wrong. I was very surprised that you selected it. You have enough winners already in my mind. I am biased, i know too many growers here, but by rules you wanted all plant with buds photo, so half dont qualify, some winners fail this rule even ... only second place winner and maybe sunset photo qualify if to follow your rules ...

@IZISEEDBANK, Hi, it's not what I understood when I read this "We are announcing a contest for the most beautiful photo - the most beautiful plant with the most beautiful buds.". You clearly state plant + buds, this is why I participate with the picture I choose even if it's blurry. I have better pictures but I didn't use them because I thought you wanted to see a plant with buds and not just a single bud. Also, Brahma is the only one with the AI picture, just check the diary link to the picture if you have any doubt...

@IZISEEDBANK, all good . Trolls and spammers have huge network, such random wins legitimate theirs fake accounts and they can influence a lot, hard to trace .. All the best for your company !!! Now you will know kitchen of this platform a bit better ;)))

@IZISEEDBANK, Brahma was the only overly obvious one that I noticed

@IZISEEDBANK, damned if you do, damned if you don't context.. do what you think is best as far as the intended spirit of your contest. adding lighting and effects is one thing, but the moment they start adding colors to the plant seems a bit over-produced. Plus, no way to be absolutely sure someone used AI unless it's egregious. Even the brahma pic is admittedly a maybe, albeit high percentage maybe. I think there's at least one other AI generated or enhanced (beyond lighting effects and such), but it didn't place. The plant and the background look nothing like any other plant in their tent in that diary or any other dairy -- but still can't be 100% certain. tough situation. all anyone can ask for is consistency in how you make the decisions. Opinions will vary. Consistency = integrity, however you choose to handle it. It's your contest. If it's a consistent application, nobody can complain about fairness at the least as it is an even playing field. In the end it is small potatoes in the grand scheme of things. In the moment it can seem like a big deal.
