@jordan1219444 and @muttomchoppers:I hear the concern and completely agree that we need uphold the need for original content. The judges for each contest will reverse search the images and take into consideration the results of their research when deciding the winners. In the case of this contest, I am well familiar with most of the photographers who have submitted photos, and their accounts also indicate their originality. I've also done research on the others, and so far I haven't found proof of dishonesty. However, we need the community to step in at any time if such proof is found, and we need to hold each other accountable in a kind manner. Photos that are proven to not belong to the contestant will be disqualified. My guess is that we can never be 100% certain, but we'll definitely do our best. Thanks again for bringing up a valid concern. Probably a week or so into the contest I will create a post just for feed-back, and we can discuss these matters more in depth.
