Official Winners List March 1 2022 blog graphic.png

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. And extra thanks to everyone for their patience with HiveSQL being down, with an extra extra THANK YOU to @arcange for working so hard to get it back up and running as fast as he did - arcange, you're a ROCKSTAR!

Speaking of rock stars, I've once again changed things up a bit, and made my numbers man extraordinaire, @abh12345 a 20% beneficiary on both the Unofficial and Official results posts, as a thank you for sending me the raw data every month. Because yes, he is a ROCKSTAR too!

Altogether we had:

165 posts on the 1st tagged with #HivePUD and/or #HPUD.
148 people who powered up and posted on the 1st using #HivePUD and/or #HPUD, with 96 of those qualifying for prizes.
9,584.230 Hive (worth approx $9,584.23 USD) powered up from Hive Power Up Day participants during the hours of the first via their local time.
53,027 Hive (worth approx $53,027.00 USD) powered up by 391 people during the 24 hour UTC time set to earn @hivebuzz badges (check out their Feedback from the March 1st Hive Power Up Day post for more info).

And as I said in the Unofficial Results post, while we didn't have as much participation as last month, we still had an awesome turnout.

Now, to make it all official...

Starting back in August, 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 the results from #HPUD posted -

Hive Power UP Day : Final Results HPUD Marzo 2022 (Hispanic Winners) [ENG/ESP] || #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 December's Orca Month!).

Prize list

Since we had the one day delay, I actually notified most of the prize sponsors right before publishing this post, so some may already have their prizes, but some will then be awarding them in the coming days. And as usual, I'll do the drawings and announce/confirm my sponsored prizes in the comment section while tagging the winners, to make this post a little less cumbersome.

Prize pool for the Hispanic #HPUD run by @victoriabsb

The details are in her Official results post mentioned above - Hive Power UP Day : Final Results HPUD Marzo 2022 (Hispanic Winners) [ENG/ESP] || #HPUD

Coming in April 2022

Seems every time I turn around, someone awesome sends me a message, saying they want to contribute to the Power Up Day prize pool - I get the feeling that will happen again for next month. Plus, April is @HiveBloPoMo (Hive Blog Posting Month), which is also a great time to set up your post payouts to 100% power up, to get another cool Hive Buzz badge.

Speaking of, the now monthly Hive Power Up Month Challenge by @hivebuzz is still going strong. I managed for the first two months of the year, and I'm hoping I can continue on every month. 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!
