: How to find out whether an Illustrator file or object has been copied from somewhere else I have received an Illustrator file, as an entry for a competition that I had organised, but I seriously

I'd try Image Search or Reverse Search. If you know the name of the artist the work is similar to, search for them. If the person who submitted the artwork has an online profile with their art on it, take some time to have a good look at it and read all the comments.

If you search the elements that stand out to you as unlikely through Google's reverse image search, that should help.

Obviously you do not want to search for simple elements, but ones that show clear thought and possible originality would be great to use for the reverse search since those are likely to narrowed down as far as possible locations they could originate from.
