The last edition of the Hive Power Up Month challenge is now over. Once again, this challenge has proven how difficult it is to stay committed for a whole month, even with rules as simple as:
- do a power-up of at least 1 HIVE or a 100% Hive Power post every day of the month
- do not powerdown

Some stats about the challenge
Since a few months, we see a renewed interest in participating in Power Up Month. Each month, many wish to take part in the challenge but few are those who hold out until the end. This is what gives all the value to the badge they receive and justifies the delegation of Hive Power that we give them.
For the September edition, with have 34 winners. Congratulations to all of them.
Let's compare the number of winners month by month.
And now, the winners list
Among the 34 participants to have held on without failing, we have 15 users who chose the publication with a 100% HP payout option, and 19 users who preferred the power-up way.
They will soon receive their "Power Up Month" badge:

Let's !HOPE for #HiveBuzz to have a "Yearly Power Up Challenge" !INDEED, where the easy-to-remember but very difficult requirement is to win all 12 Hive Power Up Month badges in a given year. 😏

Some Hive users decide to continue Powering Up at least 1 HIVE everyday (UTC) for the rest of the month even if they find out that they miss Powering Up on a single day of the month !INDEED. 🧘♂️😏 !HOPE !MMB !WINEX !BBH
Whoa, that's interesting 🤔 😳 but does it change anything or would it make them qualify for the challenge.
I don't know what I did on the 2nd of October. Kind of sceptical on whether I !INDEED powered up as supposed.

I understand, my friend, and honestly the best way that I've found to do it is to make an absolute commitment, with rock-solid tenacious determination, to do what needs to be done every single day, no matter what. Doing that, I've been able to publish 1-3 posts every day for over four years now. That hasn't always been easy, and sometimes it's been downright difficult, but I've still made it happen, regardless of what was happening around me, or even within me. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

My goodness 😳, 1 to 3 posts everyday from that time is quite challenging yet plausible.
I struggle with one posts everyday and here I am with this one.
Oh, well, I think you have also grown to an extent where you command respect here and as a result publishing posts might not be a serious issue since you will still get a measurable level of attention to the posts.
It's fine. I am learning and I hope to keep improving myself. Thank you for sharing such intriguing aspect.

That means you are one of the few Hive authors who manage to be on Hive everyday to Power Up (at least 1 HIVE or at least one 100% Powered Up post) despite being busy often in real life !INDEED. 😎
!MMB !BBH !ALIVE !WINEX
Yep, that's true, and I've always done it with publishing posts every day at 100% powerup, so the 'more difficult' path according to many people. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

The "sure path" would be to try to both publish 100% Powered Up posts and Powering Up at least 1 HIVE everyday (UTC), though those methods themselves (even if tried to be done together) do not even guarantee Monthly Power Up Badges for the entire year for some Hive authors. 🤯😅
Yes, we made it. I hope we all keep winning 🙏 😌. Thank you so much for all the support. I deeply appreciate 🙏 💯

I see that last September was your first time completing a #HiveBuzz Hive Power Up Month Challenge for this year. 🤓
Let's hope that you complete the October 2026 HPUM too! 🤗
Yes, !INDEED I hope so too. It would be exciting for history to repeat itself.

It looks like you had fun Powering Up 2 HIVE 3 times just yesterday (UTC) !INDEED. 🤯😅 !WEIRD !PIZZA !HEARTBEAT !MMB
Hehe, let me gist you, we left the office for a party, so I think I powered up earlier in the day but while at the party, I just thought about powering up and couldn't confirm if I have done that, so I powered up again.
When we came back, the thought flashed through again and instead of missing out out powering up, I did another one, just a gew minutes before 1am (UAT)
That October 2nd was such a busy day for me.

You could have used another Hive frontend (your #PeakD wallet page in this case) to see if your recent Power Up attempt was successful !INDEED. 🤔 Anyway, since your Power Ups go straight to your own Hive Power anyway, that's still good! 😎 !ALIVE !BBH !MMB !STRIDE
Whoa, this is a landmark for me. I have struggled to maintain this habit of daily power-up, but each time, it slips out of my hand ✋️ 😅 😄. I am super excited 😄 😊 🤗 I made it this time.
Super thanks to @savvyplayer and @savvytester for the reminders 🙏 😊. A big congratulations 🎊 👏 to @tydynrain for a steady win 🏆. That trend has also motivated me to keep pushing to the end this time around.
Thank you @hivebuzz for keeping in touch with incredible updates that keep gingering me to do more.
Congratulations too @savvyplayer and all the winners 🏆 👏 , we all made it.
I am super excited. This is my first win 🏆. I hope that power continues to rest on me to do more.

Oh, yes, I did. I was thinking that there is a delegation of HPs that do go to the winners 🏆 🤔 😕
Anyways, maybe I am wrong about thw notion. However, I am happy and I got congratulatory messages from other Hive users as well.
It was an exciting moment for me.

HiveBuzz has only partially worked for pretty much this entire year, sadly. While this account still publishes the monthly winners, the monthly HP delegations stopped, and were never fixed, so yes, there are supposed to be HP delegations, but they haven't happened for quite a long while now. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Big congrats to all the winners! 🎉 I was wondering if we could mix things up during the month... Like one day powering up 1 Hive, and the next doing a 100% Hive Power post. Would that fit the challenge rules?
Congratulations to all the winners from my side! Let's all move forward together and take this platform ahead. I am also a newcomer and did a little power up today; I'll try to power up whatever I earn, too!
Congratulations
Congratulation to all winners! Bless 🫶🏻
