Organised by Fanvue, the “Miss AI” beauty pageant marks the world’s inaugural AI beauty contest, spotlighting models and influencers crafted solely through artificial intelligence, with a $20,000 prize at stake.
Entrants must meet stringent requirements, being exclusively AI-generated with no natural input allowed. Participants can join by submitting an AI-generated image of a female figure, akin to traditional pageantry, accompanied by explanations of the creation process and the creator’s aspirations for a better world.
Anticipating thousands of submissions, the competition will first narrow down to a top 10 before the final three vie for victory in an online awards ceremony. Open to creations from any AI generator, be it DeepAI, Midjourney, or proprietary software, the contest has already garnered a multitude of entries, according to its records.
The judging panel comprises Artificial Intelligence-generated influencers, Aitana Lopez and Emily Pellegrini, boasting Instagram followings of over 300,000 and 250,000, respectively, alongside human experts such as entrepreneur and PR adviser Andrew Bloch, and beauty pageant historian Sally-Ann Fawcett.
Winners will be revealed on May 10, with the online awards ceremony scheduled later in the month. Entries kicked off on Sunday, April 14, and submissions have already begun flooding in from across the globe.
