Clear rules keep a contest fair.
Entrants dispute what they cannot read plainly, above all the rights they grant and what the AI rule allows. In 2026, the AI disqualifications that made the news were caught by the public, not by the contests’ own checks.

Lessons from 2026’s public AI disqualifications
What published rules can settle in advance: when originals are checked, what entrants must supply, and what happens to a prize already announced.
The AI & Originals Kit
