While they do not specifically cite what rules have been violated, fans have accused several of the entries of using AI and one of the artists of using multiple names to submit more than three entries.

The company announced it will select new artists to be among the top 300. The selections will come at a later date.

Furthermore, six of the suspicious entries come from artists with remarkably similar names. They all have the initials “V.K.” If these entries are from the same artist, it would be a violation of the contest’s rules.
