WINNERS ANNOUNCEMENT : STEEMIT IRON CHEF 2021 ACT 1 ROUND 05 - EGGPLANT THEME!!! Congratulations Everyone!!!

Greetings of the day everyone!

I hope everyone is having a great weekend so far! From my side, I was quite busy yesterday that's why I got late in making this winners announcement post for the 5th round of Steemit Iron Chef 2021 Act 1!

After going through each 61 entries, dropping a genuine comment and upvoting all of them, I finally completed the judging and here I am today announcing the different winners!

As we've noticed the past weeks, the quality of the entries are getting better each round and the competition is getting tougher - which is simply great to witness!

Reminder

Before moving on to discover the different winners, I will again remind everyone : I only give good points to those working hard , consistent in SIC , providing high quality photos , well detailed post, and awesome presentation, creative and supportive to others!

If every round it is the same people making effort sending top entries...well well my dear friends...they will be the ones getting rewards each week!

Ps. If your entry is low quality...I will have no choice than to give out very low points to you!
