![Unofficial Winners List forOrca Month December 1st 2021.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/traciyork/23vshtxftfHajb2cPHkcbMfTSia3V2ArkTwZDHMrLxws3Xsu3kfAiQU3rd36tGMLbbiMT.png) Before I get to the preliminary results, a quick shout out to say I've again set the beneficiary for this post 100% to @steevc's project, @tenkminnows. Specifically because of this bit in his [Hive Power Up Day post for September](https://peakd.com/hive/@steevc/hive-power-up-day-the) (and in keeping with [my plan](https://peakd.com/hive-167922/@traciyork/announcement-post-updated-hive-power-up-day-july-1st-2021)) - ![Screenshot 2021-09-04 at 16-20-17 Hive Power Up Day - The path to 70k HP PeakD.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/traciyork/23wCbbrppXXHiasqcsWu9i38X9YZXS3s9YesAZc8R2JXDY6GRvU7jNC9MRUxbj7XpbJoK.png) Talk about dovetailing nicely with #HivePUD! And as always, 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. As I said on @hivebuzz's Feedback from the December 1st Hive Power Up Day...

Happy last month of 2021, everyone! And what a way to finish out the year - not only is Hive at an all time high, but we also have the special Orca Month prize (thanks to an awesome idea by @victoriabsb's) to celebrate everyone spending the year growing their accounts. And another awesome Power Up Month is done and dusted - thanks again for the shiny new badge, @hivebuzz! Though with all the excitement about our ATH, it seems like fewer people powered up, and some of those that did (from what I gleaned in some of the posts I saw in my feed) might not have staked as much. Not at all surprising, and I have to say that I'm wicked thrilled and proud of the community for powering any up at all! So (and as I say every month, but I extra mean it now), a big THANK YOU to everyone who participated in this Power Up Day by powering up, posting, and/or shouting out on all traditional web 2.0 social media. All of those things help shine a light on our blockchain home, which in turn helps to grow our community. Special thanks to @hivebuzz for always BEEing such an incredible buzz-maker for Hive Power Up Day. And here's to all the happy Hiveans who are increasing their voting power and influence on the blockchain! See you all next year for the first Power Up Day of 2022!

Needless to say, I wasn't too surprised to see much lower numbers this month, especially after seeing Hive Buzz mention the overall power up number hit an all time low. The fact that anyone powered up their Hive during this bit of a rocket ship ride to the moon is SO encouraging! To break it all down, we had **50 qualifying entries** for the prize pool (compared to 73 in November) with **95 total entries** (compared to 116 last month) and **112 posts with either the #HivePUD or #HPUD tags** on the first (131 last month). As for the overall number, the power ups ranged from **1.100** to **2000** Hive Power, for a grand total of...

6,751.854 Hive Powered Up!

By comparison, the total in November was 13,036.510. So a little over half as much as the month before, but all things considered I have to say... https://media.giphy.com/media/SEOYJneN4xJ7VV2mv3/giphy-downsized-large.gif

The lists

Here is the UNOFFICIAL winners list for December 1st. If you spot any errors, or your powerup/post was somehow overlooked, please shout out as soon as possible. And as usual, on December 5th, I'll post the OFFICIAL written-in-stone list, and at that time the sponsors can award their prizes (the complete list is in the announcement post). Again as always, special thanks to my numbers guy @abh12345 for sending along the raw data for me to use to put this together. Much appreciated, Asher! 😊

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THE SPECIAL ORCA MONTH PRIZE:

While the list below will be used in determining the winners, a reminder that there are additional criteria to consider for the 1 month, 50K delegation prize. The announcement of the two winners (one for #HivePUD and one for #HPUD) will likely be in the official result post in a couple of days.

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 before powering up; Hive Power between 100 and 8000 prior to the 1st), and posted using the tag(s) so they qualify for prizes. I don'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 for the usual monthly prize pool.

Participants who don't qualify for prizes

(but qualify as amazeballs because they participated anyway!❤️ which inspired me in August 2021 to start offering a small but special prize pool for these folks)
