RESULT: Gennie in a Bottle

Within the sealed vessel, a dormant force lingered, responding to the touch of those who unveiled its secrets. Wishes were granted, but with each granted desire, ripples of unintended repercussions unfurled, a silent reminder of the complexities tied to unveiling hidden powers.

Hello dreamers, this is the round-up for the Contest; Gennie in a Bottle with the prompt 'cultural harmony'.

I received seven entries in response to my contest call. I can categorize these entries into two groups. Three entries were images generated by AI without any accompanying posts, which is okay because the contest didn't demand it exclusively. However, one entry exceeded these because, firstly, it painted a beautiful and happy picture of cultural harmony. It had a fun element that's hard to resist, and it included a sufficient description. For me, it's the second runner-up. This entry is by @o1eh

In the alternate category, I received three publications centered around the theme of cultural harmony, each accompanied by AI-generated images, as permitted by the contest guidelines. Although not obligatory, such additions were greatly valued. Among these, a standout entry was from @event-horizon. She adeptly utilized the prompt, taking the extra step to elucidate her narrative through multiple comments on her post. In other words she went extra lengths for her story narration and engagement with other participants of the contest. Against the backdrop of Steemit, her usage of the prompt is eloquent, earning her the title of the contest winner in my eyes.

Securing the position of the first runner-up is @beyondhersmile. Skillfully weaving the prompt "cultural harmony" into the narrative, she illuminated the challenges confronted by a newcomer in an unfamiliar setting. Her portrayal resonated with the warm reception extended by a diverse group, showcasing a harmonious blend of cultures.

Some users have expressed their concerns, and others were more than displeased with the concept of this contest. Taking into account these remarks, the wishes of the community, and the essence of this harmonious space, I have decided not to proceed with this contest any further.

Thank you to those who contributed in any way this time, and apologies to those who may have wanted me to continue. All in all, it was a learning experience for many of us, ending on a positive note. Take care until next time. You will see the distribution of the prize STEEM in the comments as a screenshot of transactions from my wallet.

Happy Dreaming,
