And the Winners Are.....?

Why all of us of course!

Whether there is only one person who participates in powering up on SPUDay, or there are thousands of us, the Steem Blockchain is the ultimate winner, thereby making each and everyone of us Steemians the winners. Granted, to win an actual prize you will not only have to power up but qualify to be eligible to win. This is to keep those on top of the Steem foodchain out of the running for the prizes while giving the smaller Steem accounts plenty of chances to win. Now with over 9000 in Steem Power and 20 prizes, there is a very good chance of winning!

How to SPUD on September 1, 2019

• We ask that Steemians that are able, to POWER UP any amount of STEEM they have on SPUD day.
• We ask Steemians that are currently Powering Down, to put a Stop on Powering Down for that Day, and if desired to commence the Power Down the following day.
• We ask that those that trade or sell Steem to Not Sell or Trade Steem on September 1, 2019, but to do it the day before or after if possible. Also, to cancel any type of Sell Order on the Exchanges.
  
  
  

SPUD5 PRIZES

The prizes are 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.

(1 BRAAIB is worth ~ 13 STEEM (for South Africans anyway, when using them to buy food/beer in the real-world - non-S. Africa folk will have to wait a few more weeks before they have online value/use.)

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 September 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 200 Steem Powered up prior to September 1, and on September 1st Powers Up 40 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.
__

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!
