Barn Hunt and Generative AI

Zipper Spirit Award, original sculpture by Leslie Hutto

As an artist herself (BFA) with many years working as a graphic designer both for the University of Missouri and under the business name DDGraphix, Robin Nuttall has a deep understanding and appreciation for the thousands of hours of training and education it takes to produce quality original work for graphics, logos, illustrations, photos, writing, and custom programming. She also has grave concerns over the environmental impact of Data Centers on rural communities.

All documents, illustrations, photos, and programming used for the Barn Hunt Association, the Barn Hunt National and all Barn Hunt Regional competitions are original works and do not use generative AI.

Barn Hunt Clubs are independent entities/businesses. The BHA discourages, but does not forbid, Clubs from using AI.
