Further down the article there is an update that they removed the image from the competition after he revealed it was AI generated.
Edit: actually, at the top it's mentioned:
>>>>>>>>>>>UPDATE 14.3.23 / 10 AM CET
As photolari.com reports, my image and name have now been taken off the SWPA webpage. Hope an official statement will follow.

I didn't see that update because I was looking at the archived page linked in the top comment, since the main site appeared to have been hugged to death.
> I am very happy that I won the creative category of Sony World Photography Awards 2023 / Open Competition / Single Image.
But I don't see that photo on the competition's website under "Winners » Creative - 2023 Open competition":

Edit: it looks like it was taken down, but I didn't see the note about that because I was looking at https://web.archive.org/web/20230325205601/https://www.eldag... that was linked in the top comment.
