Mark Mit, winner of the competition's junior category, said:

“It feels amazing to have won this award. I’m very excited to join Bloom World Academy where they will help me learn the skills I need to reach my dream of creating games in the metaverse.”

While Sana Sajin, winner of the senior category, shared:

“I’m really happy to be here today and truly grateful for the opportunity to study at such an amazing school. There aren’t many opportunities for filmmakers or actors my age out there and this competition really helped me learn more skills and it paid off at the end."
