Welcome to the #GooglyPrize,

celebrating googlyness every week since block 13,337,003

Woah... it's pretty dry around here these days. The lawn in the park is slowly succumbing to progressive desertification. Luckily we have a celebratory party umbrella to protect us from the heat and wild bears.

Sounds like non-sense but it's real talk! And now it's time for the weekly desert. How about some ice-cream? Actually, I don't have any ice cream, but we have some SBD and SP delegations to be handed out! That's pretty cool, too!

_{qualifying posts were submitted by:
Hive account@thegodgalindo, Hive account@bucipuci, Hive account@kalemandra, Hive account@photoquest, Hive account@eshley11, Hive account@raizapenamcbo, Hive account@mileidy10, Hive account@gabriela24, Hive account@davor27, Hive account@v-rod and Hive account@niko3d}

The Prize Pool:

carried over from last week: 3.780 SBD
^{no upvotes were purchased, minnowbooster had trouble with RPC lag, all 3.780 SBD remain in the pool}
and an available delegation-prize of 164.125 SP
plus
100% of all rewards on last week's winner announcement:
4.298 SBD and 9.693 SP and 6.527 STEEM

_{The declining price and growing SBD-Debt-Ratio is seriously draining the SBD-pool while it helps the delegation prize grow.}

that's 8.078 SBD in the cash pool:

40% will be used for next week, 60% will be paid out today!
^{3rd - 10%; 2nd - 20%; 1st - 30%}

180.345 SP will be delegated to our googly winner(s)!

All eleven recent #GooglyEyes posts were listed on Planet Googly and the Googly Friends & Family were allowed to vote for their three favourites among those.

_{today's guest judges were:}
^{Hive account@okkiedot all by himself
disclaimer: guest judges are not allowed to vote for their own entries!}

After Hive account@okkiedot selected his three favorites, it was up to me to sort their order on the pedestal. It's going to be a bit awkward when we get to the delegation prize, but let's first give the stage to our winners before we sort that out.

drumroll please...

🥁 HERE ARE THE WINNERS: 🥁

🥉 Today's 3rd winner is: 🥉

Hive account@bucipuci with
"Stories of Ordinary Things - Speaker"

The pendulum swinging hedgehog strikes back! Hive account@bucipuci's Stories of Ordinary Things are on the pedestal again. The original post features a GIF, of course!!

🥈 The 2nd winner is: 🥈

Hive account@photoquest with
"Googly Can"

I guess it can still be considered food art?! But Hive account@photoquest dared to leave their googly comfort zone of fruity composition in order to practice some re-use and re-cycling as art this week. Awesome!

🥇 And Our Grand Winner is: 🥇

Hive account@niko3d with
"The Trees Have Eyes"

Now look who's back with another grand-winner entry this week. Yeap, a googly-tree niko3d-style FTW! Congratulations!

aaaaand

_{another drumroll, please}

🥁 this week's Googly-Delegation-Winners are: 🥁

Hive account@niko3d / Hive account@photoquest / Hive account@bucipuci

you'll receive a #GooglyPrize delegation of 55.347 / 27.673 / 97.324 SP for a week.

_{Well well well, I told you this would be weird. Let me share my reasoning for this awkward split. All three of our winners today have the exceptionally ideal self-voting ratio of NONE, zero percent, nada... true examples of excellent steemification. But then there's the fact that Hive account@niko3d and Hive account@photoquest still have an active delegation from last week's award... I decided I'd reduce their active delegation to 50% and award the remaining difference from this week's delegation pool to our new winner Hive account@bucipuci... I hope you'd agree that's fair!}

The #GooglyPrize continues!
