They say things come in threes - if that's the case, then all of the brain hurty issues we've had with Power Up Day starting in July have run their course. And Mercury is no longer retrograde, and the Super Moons for 2023 have gone by, and our boy saw a wild rabbit in our driveway earlier this morning. All portents for a magically wonderful Power Up Day for October (unless I've just jinxed myself again...lol).

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 last month 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 always, I'll be doing the drawings and delegations in the morning, and 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!

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:

• 217 posts on the 1st tagged with #HivePUD, #HPUD, and/or #HispanicHPUD tags.
• 209 people who powered up and posted on the 1st using #HivePUD, #HPUD, and/or #HispanicHPUD tags, with 109 of those qualifying for prizes.
• 40,423.331 Hive (worth approx $11,031.53) powered up from Hive Power Up Day participants during the hours of the first via their local time.
• 133,815.511 Hive (worth approx $36,518.25 USD) powered up by 509 people during the 24 hour UTC time set to earn @hivebuzz badges (check out their Feedback from the September Hive Power Up Day post for more info).

 

WHOO HOO!

 

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 has her Official Results from #HispanicHPUD posted. Check it out here - Hive Power UP Day : Final Results HPUD Septiembre 2023 (Hispanic Winners) || #HPUD

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!

• 50 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 ✅

 
 

Coming in October 2023

• I'm not going to do what I did last month, and say now that we've worked out the kinks from our numbers guy switch over, that everything is going to be smooth sailing. Nope, not gonna say it (but I am thinking it...lol). Seriously though, I have high hopes that @arcange now has things set so that @livinguktaiwan, @erikah, and I will have an easier time of it, which will certainly help as our participation numbers continue to grow.

• 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!
