Arrr! First of all I would like to apologise for the delay with the publication of the new AI contest entry and with the publication of the winners of the previous contest. It's been a busy few days. In addition to the updates I've released for the game I'm developing (Rada Quest TCG) I'm continuing to work on a tool that can bring back community tokenisation on Steem, now that steem-engine has withdrawn its support for Steem blockchain.

I take this opportunity to ask for support as witness from all of you and also from great holders like @steemcurator01, @dev365, @hungry-griffin, @bahora, @visionaer3003, @sean2masaaki, @avle, @trafalgar, @cyberrn, @japanesemask, @jondoe, @jrcornel 🙏

But let's get on with the contest! This week we had a total of 16 entries for the contest. It was hard to choose the winners but here we go:

Let's go to last week's winners!

VIII AI Art on Steem Contest

---

And going back to the issue of overwork and how stressful it can be, sometimes a software developer feels under as much pressure as a racing driver. Or like a mechanic hoping not to lose a nut when he has to change a tyre mid-race.

The world of sprint car racing is truly exciting - and dangerous! Do you like sprint racing? How about going racing?

A day at the races!

Recreate a competition scene. Make us feel the thrill of speed.

Please, check the rules to participate

I created the header image of the post with Stable Diffusion.
