Once again, a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who contributed to this month's Hive Power Up Day, either through powering up, posting, offering prizes, or spreading the word. The buzz from the @hivebuzz Power Up Day badges definitely had an effect on our numbers this month - we have 89 qualifying entries for the prize pool (compared to 30 in August!) and 151 people who posted and powered up on the first (up from 54 last month)!
And I know that part of the reason is that we've merged the #HivePUD and @victoriabsb's Spanish #HPUD power up initiative, but given how many posts made reference to the badges, I think it's safe to say I'm not the only one with badge fever. 😊
One last thing before I get to the number crunching - this month, since I got that wicked cool delegation from @theycallmedan, I decided I'd quietly upvote and reblog everyone who participated. However, I didn't really think it through, so now I feel I should apologize to everyone who follows me for flooding their feeds with Power Up Day posts! 😂 I lost count after 126 posts, but I know I didn't managed to reblog all 151 (although while going through and confirming everything, I did upvote the posts I missed the first time around). Next month, I'm hoping to continue upvoting everyone, but I think I might skip the reblogging thing... 😝
Okay, one last, last thing - in chatting with @victoriabsb yesterday, we talked about the need for a way to connect the small accounts hoping to earn a badge for a 10HP powerup, with larger accounts willing to powerup a bit on their behalf. I'm considering do a type of "Secret Santa" post (without the secret...lol) next month, a few days before Power Up Day, where people can ask in the comments for an assist, and generous Hiveans can help make their badge dream come true. Please feel free to shout out with any other ideas/suggestions/feedback, and I'll work on putting something together.
Now it's time for the results! The power ups ranged from 0.003 to 6500 Hive Power, for a grand total of...
30,936.61 Hive Powered Up!
And I know I keep saying it, but I'm so excited and grateful that I have to say yet again, thank you to @jeanlucsr for having the idea, and the @hivebuzz team running with it and making the Hive Power Up Day Badges such a buzz-inducing part of power up day! I'm so looking forward to sharing all this with @streetstyle when (not, "if" because I'm still holding out hope) he returns!
Speaking of dear Street, in keeping with how he ran this, here is the UNOFFICIAL winners list for September 1st. If you spot any errors, or your powerup/post was somehow overlooked, please shout out as soon as possible.
On SEPTEMBER 5TH, I'll post the OFFICIAL written-in-stone list, and at that time the sponsors can award their prizes. I'll also announce the winners of the delegations from my revamped addition to the #HivePUD fun, the Five for #HivePUD - Twitter Only Revamp, August 2020.
As always, special thanks to my numbers guy @abh12345 for sending along the stats even before I had the chance to ask for them. You are the best numbers man ever! 😊
PLEASE NOTE
This list only includes those who powered up & posted about #HivePUD and/or #HPUD on the 1st, and met the criteria (reputation between 39 and 69; Hive Power between 100 and 8000 prior to the 1st) so they qualify for prizes. As always, I won't assign placement numbers until the official list is posted, and I've added a separate list below this one for those who posted & powered up, but their accounts were either too big/too small in their Hive Power or Reputation to qualify.

That's amazing - 3x the amount of people involved vs last month! Wickedawesomesauceness!! I really do like the Secret (but not so secret) Santa idea, always nice to have an additional unexpected gift!
Congratulations on another epic organisational feat @traciyork! You're really kicking ass with this and awesome work to @hivebuzz for the badges and @victoriabsb for the Spanish community too!
It is always great to see the fun going up, but this is simply amazing! Well done everyone!
I know I keep saying it, @hivebuzz but thanks again for helping create such an amazing BUZZ for this initiative! The participation this month was nothing short of bee-autiful!
It is our pleasure @traciyork ❤️🙏
Thanks again, dearest @nickyhavey! And appreciate the feedback on the not-so-secret Santa idea... LOL!
I am one of those with badge fever 🤣 @victoriabsb, @hivebuzz and you made my day, it was a really cool and funny day with powering up, posting and reading #HivePUD and #HPUD's posts, tweet and read other people's tweets 👍
That's why, in case I should be part of the final list of winners, I would like my prize to be given to a member of the Spanish community of your choice to thank you for really giving me a good time.
Let's go for the next episode next month with, I'm sure, even more participants 🎉😊
Witness FR - Gen X - Geek 🤓 Gamer 🎮 traveler ⛩️
Don't miss the Hive Power UP Day! more info here
That is very nice of you to say @french-tech ❤️
@french-tech, while I said it on the official result post, it certainly worth repeating - thank you for your generosity by giving up your seat second from the top in favor of someone else. I hope you're pleased with my choice to take your spot (the highest ranking member of the Spanish community under you), and I'm already wicked excited about next month's Power Up Day! Much appreciate your participation & support, and can't wait to see how much fun we have in October! 🤩 🤩
Hi @traciyork, thanks, it's perfect like that 👍
Witness FR - Gen X - Geek 🤓 Gamer 🎮 traveler ⛩️
Don't miss the Hive Power UP Day! more info here
What can I say? Excellent work as always! I am looking forward to seeing the official winners list tomorrow so I can distribute delegations.
Do you like my PUDgie bee? I found him on Bitmoji!
That's WICKED coolness, @sgt-dan! Your bee pal is adorable and speak of the devil... I mean, delegations.... 😂 ... the Official post is up now. Thanks again for your support!

Just now saw the post! Just delegated the HP to the top 3 people powering-up!
Thank you for sponsoring this and other events. @sgt-dan
Greetings, do you have time that does not activate a contest?
I remember that I made a red fish one for you. 😁
I love spreading the word. The succes is visible and the 111,11 is wicked
Thanks, @brittandjosie - it's one of my favorite numbers... lol! You do an awesome job of keeping everyone informed on everything going on here on Hive and it's greatly appreciated. Hope you're having a wonderful weekend! 😊
Great job putting all the things in place with the details.
It was exciting to participate in the #HivePUD and look forward to Power Up more and more in the coming months.
Thanks again and have a good day :)
Thanks again to you, @coolguy123 (yes, I'm still playing catch up with the comments...lol!). I'm so glad you're planning to participate again in the coming months - I think Power Up Day is getting better and better, thanks to so many enthusiastic people here like yourself! Hope you're having a wonderful weekend, and thanks again! 😊
Events like this will lift the morale of the people and encourage to participate to boost the Hive influence.
It shouldn't be difficult to power up some hive every month however little it will be and every Hive owner can do that, it's just that we need to spread the news as much more as possible.
It's already Monday morning here in India.. I hope you had a good day, have good sleep :)
Thank you very much, I really read and re-read the Power Up invitation post very well so as not to forget any rules.
Thank you very much, I know how to do it and I intend to repeat.
Thank you very much for your effort and great work. A hug from Venezuela 🤗
You're very welcome, @soyunasantacruz and thanks so much for joining in! I was wicked happy to see your name pop up on the Five for HivePUD giveaway like it did & I hope you enjoy your delegation prize this month! A big hug to you back from the US! 🤗
Hehehe thanks. The hug and the delegation arrived.
Hehehe thanks. The hug and the delegation arrived. 💋
Send me the official list when you have it, yeah?
Done! I dropped the link in a comment on your latest post, but I'll leave it here as well, just in case. Thanks as always for your sponsorship, @improv! 😊

Your leadership has much to do with that!
Thank you so much, @traciyork, and keep this challenge up! You really rock hive here and twitter.
You're very welcome, @olivia08 and thanks in return! And you've been rocking on Twitter yourself - keep up the awesome work! 💜 🤗
Thank you @traciyork. I'm just trying my best to support hive.
Thanks for taking the time to organise #hivepud Traci!
Thanks in return for keeping my brain from completely melting by sending along those stats, @abh12345! 🤗

Thanks so much, @ervin-lemark! It's much more work than I initially thought, but I'm so glad I'm able to keep this going for @streetstyle's (hopefully) eventual return! And I completely agree - every step forward, no matter how big or small, is still forward progress. Much appreciate your kind words & hope to see you for October 1st!
@ervin-lemark denkt du hast ein Vote durch @investinthefutur verdient!

Raking it in on the Corn Moon, well done @traciyork keeping one updated with reminders before event and feedback so soon after. Must have something to do with the moon!
LOL! Funny @joanstewart, I said much the same thing to my husband as I watched all the posts come pouring in on the first! Thanks so much for participating and for helping to spread the word both here and on Twitter!
Always a pleasure to help, when we have a connection!
Hola gracias por incluirme en la lista de los no ganadores,aunque no recibí premio o la insignia me pareció super emocionante participar y ser integrante de esta comunidad, quizás hace falta un poco de más información yo leí por ejemplo que los hispano con solo activar un 1 hive podíamos participar. de ser posible me gustaría recibir información sobre cuales fueron mis fallas para así corregirlas para el próximo mes de Octubre. Gracias
Hola @norberto1, y gracias por participar en el Power Up Day. @victoriabsb tenía un conjunto de reglas diferente para algunos de los concursantes españoles, así que por favor hable con ella sobre los detalles.

girl for a moment i was like WHAT Traci learned spanish! and then read the part of google and was dissapointed LMAO.
hola! @norberto1 las reglas para los premios de delegación tanto globals como los especiales de la comunidad hispana estaban en este post efectivamente con solo hacer power up a 1 Hive ya estabas participando por obtener votos en tu post (los cuales aun ando repartiendo porque son muchos los post, pero por los premios especiales de hispanos se haria por crecimiento de hp de la persona participante.
I Wish To Thank Everyone!
Have a Great Weekend!
👍🏼😁🏝️😁👍🏼
Thank you in return, @lesmann and hope you're having a great weekend as well! 😊🤗
Absolutely!!!
👍🏼😊👍🏼
Is there a post that explains how this contest works?
Sorry for the delay in replying, @dksart and yes there is! Every month since I started doing this on @streetstyle's behalf (so, since June...lol) I put out an announcement post like this a week before the 1st -
ANNOUNCEMENT POST - Hive Power Up Day, September 1st 2020
I think that post pretty much covers everything, but if you have any other questions, feel free to shout out!
Ok, cool, thanks! :)
It is so great to see how many people joined in at this month's PUD! And so many people posted about it! Thanks for your work on this @traciyork! You are amazing 🙂👍
I expected a good turn out this month, @hivebuzz but this was.... WOW! And as far as being amazing...
We are already looking forward to the next one! 😉👍
It is incredible how several drops turn into a sea, excellent your work @traciyork, a great work together of those who supported. I hope to continue participating in the power-ups. Very good idea, that you propose for next power-up.
successes!!
Love how you worded that, @rafaelgreen and thanks so much for joining in, as well as your feedback. The Hive community is always so amazing when it comes together like this, and I have no doubt Power Up Days will continue to get bigger and better as we go! 💜🤗 😊
Happy to see such a big difference of people getting involved compared to the last month!
