Congratulations to the winners ✨

All the entries are very impressive, and everyone's efforts deserve to be recognized.

However, within the framework of a "competition", with clearly defined rules, it is difficult to accept that entries that violate the rules win prizes.

A contest of a large organization, with a big prize; a contest with a jury, an inspection board and strict rules, let an AI work enter the voting round, and let works that violate the rules win the highest prize?

I ask myself: What are the rules for? Is their inspection board really good at its job and responsibility?

While there are other participants who have followed the rules and their responsibilities.

So, where does the fairness of a contest lie? Where is the professionalism of the organizing committee when they have been silent until now when the controversy has been going on for more than a week.

This makes me feel that they do not respect the contestants, as well as themselves - because of the rules they set out, they cannot do it either.

A double standard. Wanting others to do it exactly as they want, but not doing it themselves.

And this will really have a bad influence on the image of the contest and the parties involved.

I am just a person who has followed the contest over the years, and every year I see controversy about fairness. This year makes me feel even less confident in the professionalism of the organizing committee. ☹️

The quality of entries has increased, but the number of awards has decreased, professionalism has also decreased.

I hope they will see this injustice and take some action to support the contestants.
