Example of a Plagiarized Work

"Smiles for the World"

      "Smiles for the World" was a plagiarized photo of Mark Joseph Solis that had won first place in 2nd Calidad Humana National Essay Photography Competition of the Chilean Embassy. 

        Mark Solis is a political science cum laude, and an alumnus in University of the Philippines (UP). Moreover, Solis also studied Master in Public Administration on the said university. He then admitted that he used the work which is not his-- a photo titled "Neptune, King of the Sea" originally from a social entrepreneur, Gregory John Smith on his Flickr account; taken in 2006 – along with other photos of children in Brazil. Solis won first place and claimed a price worth of $1,000, a high-end mobile phone and a round trip ticket to Chile and Brazil last September 18, 2013. But after he admitted that it is not his work, he had received consequences such as expulsion and suspension from the UP, suppression of graduation and other privileges, removal of registration privileges, permanent disqualification from enrollment, and admonishment. Also, the prices he received had been revoked by the embassy.
