AI-AP = Authentic Intelligence. For Real. For Right
As has been the rule here for 43 years, the entrant to the American Illustration and American Photography Call For Entries must attest to the authorship and copyright of the image. If the work wasn't done by the eye, hand, heart, mind and soul of a human creator, we can't accept it.
It may not be the most modern take, but we consider the rights of the artist and their hand-made work, in what ever medium, very seriously.
