I'm getting ready for SPUD5 on Sept 1

I got a notification that SPUD5 is gearing up. SPUD is STEEM Power Up Day, and the 5th one will be on September 1.

This is the brainchild of Hive account@streetstyle, and is a way to keep us on track for building up our SP balances. The more SP you have here, the better you can support others with your upvotes and also get better curation rewards for yourself.

I plan to participate in this SPUD. I was traveling on Aug 1 and could not do it. I did participate on July 1 and saw a good boost to my blog.

Here are the rules to get in on the prizes offered.

And here are the prizes on offer so far:

Both of those screenshots are taken from the post I linked above.

I will be putting some STEEM in my savings and will remove it on August 26 so it will be ready to invest on Sept 1. This way I can see my progress and be more motivated to keep building in advance of SPUD5.

How about you? Will you be participating in SPUD 5 by powering up, offering a prize, or both?

I think this is a great way for all steemians to show how much this place means to us and grow stronger at the same time.
