First, a big thank you to everyone who wished me and my husband a happy anniversary (haven't posted about it in a minute, but feel free to browse through this one from our 29th and not I still haven't finished scanning the pictures! 😂). Because of a myriad of things (including the youngest's work schedule, the rainy weather, and our lack of funds) we had a very low key day at home. But given how crazy busy things have been for the past couple of months, having a couch + tv day was just what we needed and it was awesome to just relax together for a bit.

And even though tomorrow we've planned to do more of the same, I also plan to make sure that not only do I get caught up on last month's prizes (with a big thank you in advance to the sponsors for being so understanding, with extra thanks to @jacobtothe for already offering to do both months even though I feel it's my responsibility for dropping the ball - much appreciated, Jacob!) but get the winners set for this month as well. But given how late it is now, it might be more like afternoon in my neck of the woods before I get it done. Just saying. 😁

Oh, and as always I've set a 20% beneficiary for this last HivePUD post of the month to each of my team members - @livinguktaiwan, @erikah, and my new as of August 2023 numbers man extraordinaire, @arcange. I really appreciate all you do to help Power Up Day succeed, even when I managed to get something muddled up.

Also want to say that another group of people I appreciate is our Hive Power Up Day sponsors - while it's been said many times that even just powering up Hive to your account is a win, the kind folks who offer prizes make it that much more fun.

And a quick side note to them (and to people waiting for the drawing results) - as I said, I'll be doing the drawings and delegations in the morning, but this time I'll be doing September as well as this month's (like I mentioned in the announcement post. Also, as I started a few months ago, I'll send everyone a message on Discord with the link to the comment I drop below this post. Thanks again to all of you for your support of Power Up Day!

One more thing before I get to the final results, a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who contributed to this month's #HivePUD, either through powering up, posting, offering prizes, or spreading the word.

This month, we had:

• 182 posts on the 1st tagged with #HivePUD, #HPUD, and/or #HispanicHPUD tags.
• 180 people who powered up and posted on the 1st using #HivePUD, #HPUD, and/or #HispanicHPUD tags, with 98 of those qualifying for prizes.
• 38,171.441 Hive (worth approx $11,451.43) powered up from Hive Power Up Day participants during the hours of the first via their local time.
• 88,499.760 Hive (worth approx $26,549.93 USD) powered up by 473 people during the 24 hour UTC time set to earn @hivebuzz badges (check out their Feedback from the October Hive Power Up Day post for more info).

Starting back in August 2021, the people who didn't qualify for the main prize pool now have their own small but special prize pool, but instead of tagging them all here again, I'll wait and tag the winners in the comment section when I do my drawings and delegations.

@victoriabsb should have her Official Results from #HispanicHPUD posted soon, so keep check out her account for the details.

And be sure to follow both her Hive and her Twitter accounts because she's an amazing person and one of the busiest and awesomest Hiveans ever (not to mention the incredible ideas she comes up with, like Orca Month in December 2021!) .

Prizes for those who don't qualify

As of August 2021, there are a few prizes for accounts who don't qualify for the main prize pool. Meaning: if your power up was under 10 Hive, your account was under 100 Hive Power or more than 8000, and/or your reputation was under 39 or over 70 before you powered up, you still have a chance of winning a prize!

Coming in November 2023

• At this point, just making sure everything gets done on time for November is my goal! 😂 But now that things are back on track, I do have some things in mind, so stay tuned.

• And don't forget the now monthly Hive Power Up Month Challenge by @hivebuzz is still going strong. Be sure to keep an eye on @hivebuzz for information and more awesome initiative like that - follow them (on Hive and on Twitter) so you don't miss out on any announcements (plus, they're wicked cool peeps!).

 

Lastly for now (but certainly not least)...

 

THANK YOU!

 

Again, I truly appreciate everyone for making this #HivePUD event such an awesomesauce success! I've said it before, and I'll say it again - the #Hive community ROCKS!
