I was hoping to have time today to do something I've been wanting to do for ages - namely, going through all my Official Winners List posts and putting all the data into some sort of searchable format, so when I want to know (for example) if participation is at an ATH (all time high), it will be easy peasy to figure out.

While I wasn't able to put it together, I was able to scroll through and confirm that having 182 participants for September 2022 beats out the previous ATH of 161 in June 2022, so cue the happy dance!

 
 

It's especially cool when you consider that for the very first Power Up Day I managed start to finish back in July 2020, I tweeted out...

Can't wait to see the numbers in another two years!

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 (or for this month, the 7th...lol). So from now on, please expect the names of your prize winners at some point earlyish (yes that's a word...maybe...lol) tomorrow.

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:

• 201 posts on the 1st tagged with #HivePUD, #HPUD, and/or #HispanicHPUD tags.
• 182 people who powered up and posted on the 1st using #HivePUD, #HPUD, and/or #HispanicHPUD tags, with 114 of those qualifying for prizes.
• 14,812.729 Hive (worth approx $8,147.00 USD) powered up from Hive Power Up Day participants during the hours of the first via their local time.
• 48,785 Hive (worth approx $26,831.75 USD) powered up by 447 people during the 24 hour UTC time set to earn @hivebuzz badges (check out their Feedback from the September 1st Hive Power Up Day post for more info).

 

And three cheers for all the new faces this month!

 

Now, to make it all official...

 

Winners list
Septmber 1st, 2022

 

 
 

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 September 2022 (Hispanic Winners) [ENG/ESP] || #HispanicHPUD

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!) .

Gone this month

I know it seems a bit strange to shout out about a prize being removed, but I think it makes sense to express appreciation to someone for contributing to Power Up Day in the first place. Especially when the sponsor originally agreed to offer the prize for just a few months, and ended up doing it for almost a year! So thank you very much, @themarkymark and @blockheadgames for the past 11 months of delegations & for being so awesomely fast at sending them out once I gave you the winner's name. It was a pleasure to have you as part of the sponsorship team.

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!

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 ✅

 
 

Prize pool for the Hispanic #HispanicHPUD run by @victoriabsb

The details are in her Winners announcement post which, as I mentioned earlier, is already out - Hive Power UP Day : Final Results HPUD September 2022 (Hispanic Winners) [ENG/ESP] || #HispanicHPUD

PLEASE NOTE that as of May 2022, she's added a very important update to her requirements - now you must use the #HispanicHPUD tag to qualify. Be sure to check out her post for all the info.

 
 

As I mentioned at the top of the post, I'll be doing the drawings in the 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 October 2022

You may have heard that the folks over in @leofinance started their own LPUD (aka Leo Power Up Day) in mid June 2022. Now, in their latest post Relaunch of The Daily LEO + LeoFinance backing HPUD (uploaded to their newer account @leogrowth), they've announced...

Anyway, HPUD was the inspiration for LPUD, and in order to show our support to this initiative that betters and strengthens the Hive ecosystem at a broader scale, @leofinance will start supporting the HPUD with a sponsorship in order to encourage more Hivers and Lions to join in!

How awesome is that?

Starting in October, there will be 3 prizes of 100 LEO each (300 liquid LEO total) to those who qualify. Be sure to check out their post for all the details, as well as read about the return of The Daily LEO newsletter! And thanks in advance for joining the sponsorship team, Leo Finance!

Speaking of, has anyone in the Hive Power Up community used LeoThreads microblogging to announce/share their Power Up Day post? Is that something you think should be a thing every month? Please shout out in the comment section with your thoughts.

 

In other news - 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!
