Before I get to the results, a quick note for my prize sponsors (and actually everyone else, so you're aware) - I'll be afk for most of the day tomorrow, so I won't be able to do the drawings and give out my prizes & delegations until Monday morning. Apologies for the delay and I'll send out the results (and prizes) as soon as possible then.

Now, as I said in my UNOfficial Winners post last night, what a wicked awesomesauce start to this new Hive year. Not only did we hit another ATH number of participants, but @hivebuzz hit an ATH as well! HAPPY NEW YEAR HIVEANS! 😄🎉✨

Also, in case you missed my Important Announcement about HivePUD in October, again this post isn't actually late (for a change...lol) - the recent awesome bump up in participation has led me to bump out the time a bit so I can have plenty of time to get the results sorted each month,

 

Reminder for the Hive Power Up Day prize sponsors - as I mentioned in June 2022, it's much easier for me to do the prize drawings the morning after this post, since this Official Winners List tends to go out late in the day on the 5th the 7th . So from now on, please expect the names of your prize winners at some point earlyish (yes that's a word...maybe...lol) tomorrow. See note above

Speaking of getting these posts out, as always I've set a 20% beneficiary for this last HivePUD post of the month to my numbers man extraordinaire, @abh12345, who is a large part of the reason I'm able to get the results put together before the next Power Up Day happens! 😄

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:

• 237 posts on the 1st tagged with #HivePUD, #HPUD, and/or #HispanicHPUD tags.
• 219 (ATH) people who powered up and posted on the 1st using #HivePUD, #HPUD, and/or #HispanicHPUD tags, with 138 of those qualifying for prizes.
• 48,342.776 Hive (worth approx $12,569.12 USD) powered up from Hive Power Up Day participants during the hours of the first via their local time.
• 124,876 Hive (worth approx $32,467.76 USD) powered up by 585 (ATH) people during the 24 hour UTC time set to earn @hivebuzz badges (check out their Feedback from the December Hive Power Up Day post for more info).

 

Congratulations to all you Diamond Hands!

 

Now, to make it all official...

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 also has her results from #HPUD posted - Hive Power UP Day : Final Results HPUD Enero 2023 (Hispanic Winners) [ENG/ESP] || #HispanicHPUD - congratulations, everyone!

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 last December's Orca Month!) .

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!

 

All HivePUD Prize participants who DO NOT qualify for the main prize pool will be entered into a drawing for...

• 10 HIVE Power (3 lucky winners) - Sponsored by @traciyork (courtesy of Hive supplied by @theycallmedan) ✅
• 100 POSH (1 lucky winner) - Sponsored by @acidyo and @poshtoken ✅

 

Additionally

• One HivePUD participant who powers up and tweets about Power Up Day (whether they DO or DO NOT qualify for the above prizes) will receive a 100 HIVE Power delegation for 4 weeks - Sponsored by @hiveblogshare ✅

 
 

As I mentioned at the top of the post, I'll be doing the drawings Monday morning, then will be sending the winners names to the sponsors. After that, I'll drop a my usual redonkulously long reply to this post with all the details.

 
 

Coming in February 2023

• I know I mentioned last month that it recently occurred to me that I have a bunch of @ecency points burnin' a hole in my wallet, so I'm going to come up with some criteria (I don't want to make something like this a random prize), and add some Ecency point upvotes to the prize pool. I wanted to do that for January, but didn't have a chance to sit down & figure it out. Hoping to have it ready next month.

• Something else that occurred to me last month, thanks to a comment by @idksamad78699 is the possiblity of offering RC delegations as prizes, but the more I overthought about it, the more I realized that's not really a good fit for Power Up Day. We have some new-to-Hive accounts joining in, but not really very many of those who would benefit most from having more RC. I have a couple of ideas about something else to do instead, and I'm hoping to have it put together by early in this new year, so please stay tuned!

• And as always, 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!
