Sorry, but I don't understand and I am confused.

Did he submit his work in the contest and then refuse the prize ala Sokal [1] because it was generated using AI?

In the article, he explains his goal was to accelerate the conversation around AI in photography that the field isn't ready to have yet, and didn't want his submission to win.

Of course he wanted his submission to win. If his submission lost, it wouldn't accelerate the conversation as he hoped.

What he didn't want was the prize for a photo contest.
