Based on this, the top 3 NFTs in the 2 competition categories (Aesthetic &amp; Functional) will receive prize money.All participants are invited to the closing ceremony of Blockchain Ireland week on the 1st of June where they may collect their prizes. <h3>Who is this competition for?</h3>This competition is for anyone in Ireland who is interested in learning more about NFTs.
