Thank you to everyone who entered last week's round with the theme "A Smoothie for 
Hive account@smooth". These smoothie offerings were our way of saying thanks to Hive account@smooth for his generous sponsorship of the SCC from #1 - #32. Now I wonder which of these stunning smoothies he would award the prizes to... I guess we'll probably never know! Instead we have 
Hive account@rebeccaryan to award the prizes for 1st and 2nd place. The participants will be pleased to know that despite what I said last week about there only being one prize, we actually ended up with five! The first prize is 25 SBD kindly donated by the Steemit community... The second prize is 5 SBD thanks to 
Hive account@sirwinchester.... And 5 SBD each for 3rd, 4th and 5th places this week from 
Hive account@englishtchrivy, former host and now sponsor of the SCC. Bless her heart, Hive account@englishtchrivy felt choosing only one prize was an impossible task, so instead she generously rewarded three!
From this week onwards, not only do we have brand spanking new logos designed by 
Hive account@amy-goodrich and 
Hive account@secret-gardener, but we also have 
Hive account@gringalicious as our brand new sponsor (see I left out the 'spanking' part there haha). Welcome Hive account@gringalicious, and welcome to anyone new who is pondering whether to join us... please do!... we like nothing better than taking a good nosey at everyone's unique creations! (We'll be nice, don't worry).
For those of you who have never entered this challenge before - it's very easy, just SCROLL DOWN for this week's THEME, RULES and PRIZES. You don't have to be a master chef - just try to be creative with your recipes and take beautiful photos, since unfortunately we can't taste the entries so you must help us do this with our imaginations! Original recipes are encouraged, but you may use someone else's recipe as long as you credit the original source.

Hive account@rebeccaryan comments: "Gorgeous eye-candy in a glass. Well done! I loved the nutritional information regarding beets and raspberries and I also thought that your use of berries and currents as garnish on top of each of your smoothies was really clever. It subtly demonstrated how thick your smoothies actually were. Fantastic photography, too."
1st Prize "Entry 2: Raspberry Peach and Papaya Turmeric Take the Smoothie Stage" by Hive account@jaymorebeet 25 SBD donated by the Steemit Community
Hive account@rebeccaryan comments: "What a second entry! Outstanding job. I loved the nutritional information regarding turmeric, Papaya, and Bee pollen. Great photos of all of your ingredients, grouped together. It's tricky to do that nicely and you certainly managed to. I thought that every single one of your photos were magazine quality."
Our guest judge for this week is 
Hive account@rouketas, a very friendly guy and very talented cook, which most of you no doubt know already. I owe him much gratitude for frequently going out of his way to help and support the SCC, and not least for jumping in at short notice to be judge for this round! Thank you Hive account@rouketas!!!
If you haven't ever seen his cooking, you really must. It not only looks superb, but he likes to use all kinds of weird and wonderful ingredients... it's truly inspiring! In addition to being a passionate cook, he describes himself as a "gym freak... computer geek and maniac motorcyclist" (yep Hive account@rouketas, I have been noseying through your blog!) He is also on a mission to help the Greek community grow here on Steemit, and draw the rest of the world's attention to all things Greek! Check out the 
Hive account@greek-trail blog for more on this, there's lots going on. Also check out the very generous BONUS PRIZES for this round, sponsored by Hive account@rouketas and Hive account@greek-trail... Just scroll down a little further to find out how you can win them! The theme is a very apt summery one, which will surely get many ideas flowing (and tummies rumbling)...
