The Alliance for Young Artists and Writers has officially rescinded the award granted to Kasey Bowman. This outcome restores a sense of integrity to the creative community and validates the concerns many of you brought forward. I hope this conclusion serves as a reminder that original expression deserves protection.

TOTAL SCAM. She needs to be disqualified immediately.
Unbelievable. Real artists work so hard for years to develop their style and then someone just traces it and wins an award? Fix this mistake.
Give it to someone who actually drew it themselves. Trace work belongs in the trash not on a wall.
Tracing art is not talent. It is stealing pure and simple. Revoke that award now.
I really hope they look at the evidence. You can literally overlay the two images and see it matches perfectly. Shame on her.

This is ridiculous. How did the judges not see it was traced?? Embarrassing for the whole program.
