Welcome to the #GooglyPrize,

awarding googlyness since block 13,337,003

The summer is hot, the markets are low... and everyone seems to get a bit dazed and lazy these days. We had barely any entries this week, but that's not a showstopper...

That was my introduction last week, and now I have to shamefully admit the heat has gotten to me, too! Something happened that hasn't happened in over a year of hosting this show... I'm almost a week late with this issue of the #GooglyPrize! Life was a tad too busy and the immobilizing heat blazing through central Europe these days did the rest.

With those pityful excuses out of the way, let's get on with the show!

_{almost two weeks, yet only a few qualifying posts were bravely submitted by:
@bucipuci, @ivimipa, @jjprac, @mathowl, @davor27, @kaerpediem, @isabelpena and @mileidy10}

The Prize Pool:

carried over from last week almost two weeks ago: 1.494 SBD
^{plus @bucipuci, donated 0.080 SBD, the full SBD reward of his last googly post to the pool.
no upvotes were purchased, so the full sum remained for this week's pool.}
and an available delegation-prize of 180.345 SP
plus
100% of all rewards on last week's winner announcement:
5.593 SBD and 9.543 SP and 5.692 STEEM

that makes 7.087 SBD in the cash pool:

40% will be used for next week, 60% will be paid out today!
^{3rd - 10%; 2nd - 20%; 1st - 30%}

195.580 SP will be delegated to our googly winners!

There were only eight entries within the past 13 days, I briefly thought about just quickly picking the winners by myself, but I already did that last week and I don't want to let my personal taste rule the show. Luckily, despite the hot saturday afternoon time, some good folks at Planet Googly were around and willing to let me know which ones their favourite posts.

_{today's guest judges were:}
^{@dexterdev, @hopehuggs, @jpederson96, @niko3d, @tillygerbi
disclaimer: guest judges are not allowed to vote for their own entries!}

drumroll please...

🥁 HERE ARE THE WINNERS: 🥁

🥉 Today's 3rd winner is: 🥉

@kaerpediem with
"Mr. Boombastic"

Two of five guest jurors said that Mr.Boombastic was one of the best posts. A solid 3rd prize for won by seizing the opportunity ... living up to their userhandle: @kaerpediem.

🥈 The 2nd winner is: 🥈

@mathowl with
"My biggest fan"

Just the right kind of friend to have around to cope with the heat. And @mathowl didn't shy away from making a PG-rated pun either. No wonder 3 judges picked this post for a spot on the pedestal today!

🥇 And Our Grand Winner is: 🥇

@bucipuci with
"Stories of Ordinary Things - Glasses"

The sight of a cold beer is well received these days. Especially when it comes as such a fresh googly GIF. No wonder 4 jurors wanted to see this post win today, and I absolutely can't argue with that!

aaaaand

_{another drumroll, please}
