First, a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who contributed to this month's #HivePUD, either through powering up, posting, offering prizes, or spreading the word. While we didn't have as many qualifying entries as last month (30 for August, compared to 37 in July) we still had an AWESOME number of people who posted and powered up (54 for August, which is a slight uptick from July's 52), and I'm wicked excited at how everything turned out!
The power ups ranged from 0.111 to 5000 Hive Power for a grand total of...
31,037.557 Hive Powered Up!
And I know I keep saying it, but I'm so excited and grateful that I have to say again, thank you to the @hivebuzz team and @jeanlucsr for making the HiveBuzz Power Up Day Badge a reality! I'm still giddy from the news & I'm SO looking forward to sharing all this with @streetstyle when (not, "if" because I'm still holding out hope) he returns!
Speaking of dear Street, in keeping with how he ran this, here is the UNOFFICIAL winners list for August 1st. If you spot any errors, or your powerup/post was somehow overlooked, please shout out as soon as possible.
On AUGUST 5TH, I'll post the OFFICIAL written-in-stone list, and at that time the sponsors can award their prizes. I'll also announce the winners for my new addition to the #HivePUD fun, the Five for #HivePUD drawing (with a little twist, since I ended up with more prizes than entries... 😂).
And again, special thanks to my numbers guy @abh12345 for sending along the stats practically before I finished asking for them. You are the best numbers man ever! 😊
PLEASE NOTE
This list only includes those who powered up & posted about #hivepud on the 1st, and met the criteria (reputation between 39 and 69; Hive Power between 100 and 8000 prior to the 1st) so they qualify for prizes. As always, I won't assign placement numbers until the official list is posted, and this month I added a separate list below this one for those who posted & powered up, but their accounts were either too big (or too small) to enter.
Oh, and like last month, I ended up taking some people off the list who used the #HivePUD tag because based on their posts, they were actually participating in @victoriabsb's Venezuelan/Spanish #HPUD initiative instead. Speaking of, it looks like she had another amazing turnout too - nice job, Victoria, and congratulations on having an even bigger and better response than your first time out! 🎉 🥂
