Welcome to the #GooglyPrize

Your weekly award for the googliest posts tagged with #GooglyEyes

It's summer, the sun is blazing, and the googly prize is hanging out high on the trees. Yeah, i think Herbert might have been a bad influence. Either way there's already been another platanus tree featured with #GooglyEyes this week, so I figured I'll just have @googlyprize follow the trend.

Don't forget to check out this week's bonus image further down below!

_{My appreciation goes to:
@detlev, @mariabarreto, @marty-art, @sarita13, @abbijulie, @mileidy10, @mandysp, @nancyka, @tillygerbi, @zimatovi, @indimar, @gabriela24, @nicole27, @chiki, @hethur240, @taufik.abdsyam, @masami69, @photoquest, @mileidy10, @ivimipa and @hadley4
for posting some quality #GooglyEyes.}

The top-10 #GooglyEyes posts that qualified during the past week were listed on Planet Googly where the Googly Friends & Family (including myself) were allowed to vote for their three favourite posts among those.

^{today's guest judges were: @bucipuci, @hazel420, @photoquest, @techblogger and @warrkin
disclaimer: they were not allowed to vote for their own entries!}

Today's ranking as determined by our honorary guest judges was pretty straight forward. So without further ado...

drumroll please...

🥁 HERE ARE THE WINNERS: 🥁

🥉 Today's 3rd winner is: 🥉

@blackvapor with
"Wall Monster"

I usually try my best to encourage high-effort posting for this contest. So it comes with a certain taste to award this single image post with only 4 words in it... but well... sometimes it only takes very little to crack a laugh!

🥈 The 2nd winner is: 🥈

@hethur240 with
"Googly Hell"

I really don't want to approve the torture of #GooglyEyes, but apparently several guest judges today are into that kind of thing. I guess it makes sense, taking things to the extreme isn't the worst idea to get attention?!

🥇 And Our Grand Winner is: 🥇

@tillygerbi with
"Choppin’ Celery"

Beautifully bright green hues and the expression of pure terror on these Googlies earned a whopping five finalist votes. I don't know what's going on here... torture your Googlies for the win?! Please don't

aaaaand

_{another drumroll, please}

🥁 this week's Googly-Delegation-Winner is: 🥁

@hethur240

you'll receive the #GooglyPrize delegation of 154.629 SP for a week.

_{Our grand winner, @tillygerbi, has unfortunately been rather inactive lately. A decent voting activity is the prerequisite for the delegation award. Leaves us with our 2nd and 3rd winners, both having an admirably low self-voting quota, @hethur240 had 2nd rank and a slightly smaller wallet, so she's striking gold today. Congrats.}
