The inaugural edition of the Global Prompt Engineering Championship, the world’s biggest competition of its kind, concluded yesterday after two days of contests in which participants competed for prizes worth a total of more than USD270,000 across three categories: Art, Literature and Coding.

The winners came from two different countries after beating thousands of entrants from 100 countries to the final stage. Ajay Cyril and Aditya Nair from India and Megan Fowkes from Austria were declared the winners of the competition.

His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, graced the ceremony and facilitated the winners.

The two-day competition will be expanded next year to include more categories. The inaugural edition included workshops hosted by tech giants, including Microsoft, Google, and IBM, as well as the Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy, the event’s strategic partner.
