TPCi Disqualifies Entries from 2024’s Pokemon TCG Illustrator Contest!

TPCi has announced they’ve disqualified entrants from 2024’s Illustrator Contest for violating the contest rules.

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.

As of posting, the original 300 illustrations are still listed on their website. It’s unclear how many will be discarded.
