First-ever AI beauty pageant to crown winner with $13K prize
The world is about to witness history in the making with the announcement of the first-ever beauty pageant dedicated to artificial intelligence (AI) models and influencers! Titled "Miss AI," the World AI Creator Awards launched the pageant which will assess participants on their aesthetic appeal, technical sophistication, and digital influence. These chatbot beauties will vie for the crown—along with the chance to win over $13,000 in cash prizes.
Why does this story matter?
The Miss AI contest provides a platform for AI influencers like Lexi Schmidt to showcase their beauty, opening the doors to future paid gigs. For instance, Alba Renai, an AI influencer, was recently hired to host a weekly special segment on the Spanish version of Survivor. This groundbreaking pageant signifies the growing acceptance and influence of AI-created individuals in the digital world. The competition is now open for entries.
Miss AI pageant: Prizes and partnerships
The Miss AI pageant winner will receive a $13,000 cash package—a $5,000 cash award, a $3,000 mentorship scholarship, and $5,000 worth of Fanvue PR support. Fanvue is a platform that hosts virtual models on a subscription basis and is collaborating with the World AI Creator Awards for this initiative. Prizes will also be awarded to second and third-place winners. The winners will be announced on May 10 with a virtual awards ceremony planned later in the month.
In details: Judging panel and criteria for Miss AI
The judging panel for Miss AI includes Aitana Lopez and Emily Pellegrini, both AI-created models with significant Instagram followings. They are joined by entrepreneur and PR adviser Andrew Bloch, and Sally-Ann Fawcett, a beauty pageant historian and author of Misdemeanours: Beauty Queen Scandals. Fawcett expressed her excitement, "It's been a fast learning curve expanding my knowledge on AI creators, and it's quite incredible what is possible." The World AI Creator Awards stipulates that entrants must be 100% AI-generated.
AI influencers gain recognition and opportunities
Meet Lopez, the vibrant 25-year-old AI fitness model boasting a signature pink mane and a staggering 3.6M-strong Instagram following. With scorching-hot posts, she reels in a jaw-dropping $11,000 monthly. Then there's Pellegrini, the brunette brainchild of Fanvue creators, pocketing an impressive $10,000 within her first six weeks as enticing clickbait. Pageant organizers reveal a rigorous judging process, employing expert evaluation across three core categories using a points-based scoring system.
