Greetings @jaguar.force!
I have been anticipating a contribution from you for some time. Plagiarism in the art world can be difficult to spot and harder to prove due to the gray lines that exist.
I understand that your work is not without controversy. There are instances where I felt torn between the arguments presented.
In this case, however, there is no mistaking. The contest entry should be void, but only @ntopaz holds the key to that decision. The original author's response in the email is a convincing piece of evidence. The work may be legal under copyright laws, but we now know that the piece was nothing more than a near-clone.
Again, whether @ntopaz will do anything about it is up to them. As part of the community, we can still disagree with the rewards.
While we are on the subject of community, here is a thought for your future contributions:
If you could, would you kindly lay out the process of how you spot these cases? The curators may learn a thing or two from your work.
Keep up the good work. There are those who support you. The same supporters will also call you out when appropriate.
Your contribution has been evaluated according to Utopian policies and guidelines, as well as a predefined set of questions pertaining to the category.
