Contestants will be judged on both their appearance and their engagement stats

The future of AI is here.

The world’s first AI beauty pageant will judge AI-generated contestants competing for the title of “Miss AI.” The competition is the first installment in a program of awards presented by the World AI Creator Awards (WAICA) and its inaugural partner, Fanvue, a subscription platform that hosts AI content.

According to WAICA’s website, the organization is “dedicated to recognising the achievements of AI creators around the world” and the Miss AI pageant will assess contestants “on their beauty, tech, and clout for the chance to earn the Miss AI crown.”

Judges will take into account classic elements of pageantry such as looks, poise and answers to questions, but contestants will also earn points for their technical skill and implementation of AI tools. Lastly, judges will consider contestants’ reach on social media, i.e. the rate of audience growth and how they engage with fans on their platforms.

A press release from WAICA notes that the contest “signifies a monumental leap forward — launching almost 200 years after the world’s first ever real life beauty pageant took place in the 1880s.”

The Miss AI panel of judges includes two of the world’s biggest AI creators, Aitana Lopez and Emily Pellegrini. Lopez and Pellegrini are both fully digital personas and have garnered millions of followers and even brand deals. The rest of the panel includes leading pageantry historian Sally Ann Fawcett and marketing guru Andrew Bloch.

The judges will determine a first, second and third place winner with a prize package worth over $20,000 in total. Winners will be announced on May 10 and an online awards ceremony will take place later that month.

“The creator economy is an extremely exciting place to be in right now, and with the help of our platform, there’s been exponential growth in AI creators entering the space, growing their fanbases, and monetizing content,” Fanvue Co-Founder, Will Monanage, says in the press release.

He continued, “We jumped at the chance to be the first ever partner of the Fanvue World AI Creator Awards, which recognizes talent and tech – and will continue to raise standards within the industry. Miss AI is just one award as part of a program, and we share the vision for the WAICAs to become the Oscars of the AI creator economy.”
