Miss AI is the first pageant of the World AI Creator Awards (WAICAs), sponsored by creator content site Fanvue.

The total prize package is worth over £15,000 and the creator who lands the coveted Miss AI crown will win almost £4,000 in cash, along with a package of benefits including promotion on the Fanvue platform and a dedicated publicist to help increase their reach to new audiences.
