SPUD5 - SEPTEMBER 1, 2019

With about nine days left before the Global event known as STEEM POWER UP DAY 5 takes place on the Steem Blockchain, I wanted to give the community a friendly reminder regarding SPUD.

SPUD4 had a 35%+ increase in participants that qualified for a shot at the four SPUD prizes. SPUD5 will have over 9,000 in Steem Power Delegation Prizes, and this time there will be 5 winners instead of four. SPUD5 now has more prize sponsors and more overall supporters. The SPUD initiative is growing and gaining more and more momentum with each and every event. With everyones' help, we can make SPUD5 a spectacular event that will make many in the Steem and crypto World take notice. Please help with creating your own Steem memes, artwork, and post. Let us put the SPUD hash tag back on the most popular hash tags list. Also please help out with up votes, comments, re-steems and any other means of support.

For now, here is what the SPUD5 PRIZES will be:*

1st Place -

- 2500 Steem Power Delegation for 3 Weeks - Sponsor = @xpilar

Rules to Win Prizes for SPUD5 :

MUST have a reputation score BELOW 69.00 ( so 68.99 is good & Can participate.) AND more than 150 STEEM POWER (prior to SPUD5) BUT LESS than 7501 Steem Power.

MUST have a reputation score ABOVE 42 (so rank of 41.99 will Not Win)

MUST have at least 1 Steem Post in their blog about SPUD5

MUST Power Up Steem on September 1st, 2019

On September 1st, you MUST make a post about your POWER UP. It can be as simple as "I powered up X amount of Steem" to a simple picture/screenshot of your Power Up and posted to your Steem blog, or it could be a super long dissertation on Steem Power. IMPORTANT: Use the SPUD and/or SPUD5 Hash tags so that I can be sure to see them.

The winner must meet all 5 requirements, and will be the one with the Biggest Steem Power Up PERCENTAGE, not the biggest Power Up. This means that it will be based on the ratio between your current amount of Steem Power and the amount you power up on August 1st.

For Example:

If you have 1000 Steem Power already powered up prior to September 1, and on September 1 you complete steps 1-5 with a 100 Steem Power Up,

and

another Steemian has 100 Steem Powered up prior to September 1, and on September 1st Powers Up 20 Steem, then this 2nd user would be winning with a 20% power up versus the first example with a bigger power up but smaller percentage of only 10% based on their account.

This prize is meant to incentivize the smaller Steemians, the planktons, minnows and barracudas out in the Steem Ocean to participate in powering up on SPUD, and hopefully create more understanding as to why Steem Power is what backs the Steem Economy. The winners will be announced via a Steem Post a few days later, and if no one challenges it or lets me know I missed them after 2 days from Winner Announcement, the Winners become official and the prizes will then be given out.

Thank you to All our Prize Sponsors, Truly Amazing!!

Cheers!
