Boris Eldagsen said he told the organiser of the international photography prize that he developed the image using artificial intelligence when they told him had won the award - claiming he was told to keep the prize anyway.
However, they also said relations have now soured between two, adding:"Additionally, we were looking forward to engaging in a more in-depth discussion on this topic and welcomed Boris' wish for dialogue by preparing questions for a dedicated Q&A with him for our website.
"As he has now decided to decline his award we have suspended our activities with him and in keeping with his wishes have removed him from the competition. "Given his actions and subsequent statement noting his deliberate attempts at misleading us, and therefore invalidating the warranties he provided, we no longer feel we are able to engage in a meaningful and constructive dialogue with him.
"We recognise the importance of this subject and its impact on image-making today. We look forward to further exploring this topic via our various channels and programmes and welcome the conversation around it."
