Starlight Celebration Contest Winners Question

Before people grab their pitchforks, they probably didn't realise when they found the picture, don't turn this into a witch hunt, that said, Photoshopping is against the rules, so really it should be disqualified.

As the person who originally took and posted the screenshot... Yeah. They must have. Because nowhere does that image appear without a concise description of just what's happening.

Additionally; photoshopped images are disallowed by the contest rules, so even if this is not removed for being distasteful, it's a disqualifying image.

They probably found it on Google Image search. At least that's what I'd like to think, I'd rather not think that someone intentionally used the picture to win a contest.

While I agree in principle (image search happens), that's not a meaningful excuse for any part of this. There are at least two contest rules being broken by the image (no photoshopping, original captures only) to disqualify it - on top of the moral objections anyone might have to using this vigil for personal gain.

Can you provide the link of where you uploaded that screenshot? I think it would be helpful if people could see your original in case all of this is true.
