πΈ GLITZ & CO β OUR AI PHOTO POLICY
We wanted to take a moment to clarify Glitz & Coβs position regarding AI-generated and AI-enhanced photography. π
We have a no-AI policy for competition photography, including AI-generated or materially AI-altered photos, backgrounds and toppers.
This includes, but is not limited to:
β’ AI-generated photographs for submission into competitions
β’ AI-generated backgrounds
β’ AI-generated or digitally created toppers
β’ AI-generated facial features or alterations
β’ AI-generated hair, clothing or accessories
β’ AI-enhanced images that materially change the contestant or create elements that were not actually present in the original photograph.
Our policy simply ensures that the contestant being judged is genuinely represented in their submitted image and that the same rules apply fairly to everyone.
This has been present and written into our handbook for over 12 months and is a policy we will not be changing.
This isnβt a reflection on the incredible creators, topper designers, editors and photographers within our industry β we absolutely celebrate and support their creativity and talent! β¨ Their skills are a huge part of what makes pageantry so special.
We respect that other organisations may have different rules, but these are the standards we have chosen for the Glitz & Co system.
This policy is only in place for our Jackpot Photo Entries.
Which include:
- Natural Headshots
- Glitz Headshots
- Creatives / Covermodel images
