This situation underscores the importance of artists carefully reading competition guidelines before submission, as these documents often clarify ownership rights and usage permissions.

Moreover, it highlights a broader issue within the creative industry: companies must respect artists’ intellectual property and obtain explicit consent before utilizing their work.

As the community awaits a response from Solomon Airlines, this incident serves as a crucial reminder of the need for clear communication and ethical practices between creators and corporations.
