At the Olympiad I told about "Photobot", a chatbot for photographers that automates the routine in their work. Fortunately I had enough time to mention the necessary details to appreciate my work.
As a result, my efforts were not in vain - in the final the judges put my project in 1st place and I won the grand prize. This was a set of a medal, an Arduino-powered programmable robot, a book about gamesdev, and career advice from HH. Also in the package was all sorts of merch - mugs, notepads, and so on.
The prize came to me a few months after the finals.
