Welcome to the #GooglyPrize

Giving out weekly prizes for awesome posts with #GooglyEyes, that's what we do.

Curating the prize this week was a delicate job again, there's been quite a few entries with confusing timing or content. It's not so long ago that I had to rant about multi-account abusers trying to play games here. Honestly, maybe the whole ordeal made me a bit paranoid?! But to keep things fair for everyone, I will continue to be strict when I have any doubts about the genuine nature of a post and it's origin.

At the same time, I do not want to discourage legitimate teamwork. Please, just mention it explicitly in the post when you've gone out with your friend or family member to hunt for Googlies together, that's totally fine. I'll appreciate if you could remove my doubts right there before they arise ;)

Now on with the show:

I'd like to say "Thank You" to:

@mandysp, @raizapenamcbo, @juanzcorpion, @photoquest, @nathyang, @taufik.abdsyam, @gabriela24, @airam05, @nunopher2013, @mileidy10, @chiki, @abbijulie, @hopehuggs, @ciaolovers, @nancyka and @munaa

Same as every week, the top-10 #GooglyEyes posts were listed on Planet Googly where the Googly Friends & Family (including myself) were allowed to vote for the three favourite posts among those.

^{today's guest judges were: @bucipuci, @davor27, @hopehuggs, @niko3d, @okkiedot & @techblogger
disclaimer: they were not allowed to vote for their own entries!}

The results showed one clear winner and two equally strong runner-ups today. Here they are:

drumroll please...

🥁 HERE ARE THE WINNERS: 🥁

🥉 Today's 3rd winner is: 🥉

@photoquest with
"👀 Googly Cows 🐮 Eating Grass 🌾"

@photoquest outdid himself with this brilliantly animated googly food-art GIF again. No surprise to see this gather 4 votes and a spot on the pedestal today!

🥈 The 2nd winner is: 🥈

@nunopher2013 with
"El pequeño Bart"

This guy called Bart gained a whopping 4 votes in the final round, too. He ends up with a second place for being a bit closer to the original theme of this show. Cowabunga! Get Bent.

🥇 And Our Grand Winner is: 🥇

@ciaolovers with
"Hermanos dragón | Dragon brothers"

Being a member of the fire-brigade has always been a much honoured occupation. Combine that with a lovely #GooglyEyes story and that's that. @cialovers puts out the fire but her post was still too hot to handle and received 5 votes. Congratulations!

aaaaand

_{another drumroll, please}

you'll receive the #GooglyPrize delegation of 153.953 SP for a week.
