SPUD Conquers Another Peak
In Samoa, SPUD is already a couple of hours in, while in New Zealand over an hour will have surpassed into November 1 and SPUD 7 by the time you read this post. The SPUD journey around the World begins at the International Dateline, and 48 hours later crosses past American Samoa and back to the International Dateline to the SPUD run.
Every SPUD We climb higher, and this time will be no different. There is quite of bit of interest and support for SPUD and the Steem Blockchchain. There are many interested in the prizes as well, which are also growing, thanks to the generous support of the SPUD Prize Sponsors. You are SUPER STEEMIANS, and I Thank You for helping sprout the growth of SPUD.
Also a Warm Welcome and a Big THANK YOU to 
SPUD 7 UPDATED PRIZES
The prizes are meant to incentivize the smaller Steemians, the planktons, minnows and aspiring Dolphins out in the Steem Ocean to participate in powering up on SPUD, and hopefully create more understanding as to why Steem Power is what makes the Steem Economy.

Rules to Win Prizes for SPUD7 :
MUST have a reputation score BELOW 69.00 ( so 68.99 is good & Can participate.) AND more than 150 STEEM POWER (prior to SPUD7) BUT LESS than 7501 Steem Power.
MUST have a reputation score ABOVE 42 (so rank of 41.99 will Not Win)
MUST have at least 1 Steem Post in their blog about SPUD7
MUST Power Up Steem on November 1st, 2019
On November 1st, you MUST make a post about your POWER UP. It can be as simple as "I powered up X amount of Steem" to a simple picture/screenshot of your Power Up and posted to your Steem blog, or it could be a super long dissertation on Steem Power. IMPORTANT: Use the SPUD and/or SPUD7 Hash tags so that I can be sure to see them.
The winner Must meet all 5 requirements, and will be the one with the Biggest Steem Power Up PERCENTAGE, not the biggest Power Up. This means that it will be based on the ratio between your current amount of Steem Power and the amount you power up on November 1st.
For Example:
If you have 1000 Steem Power already powered up prior to November 1, and on November 1 you complete steps 1-5 with a 100 Steem Power Up,
and
another Steemian has 200 Steem Powered up prior to November 1, and on November 1st Powers Up 40 Steem, then this 2nd user would be winning with a 20% power up versus the first example with a bigger power up but smaller percentage of only 10% based on their account.

The winners will be announced via a Steem Post a few days later, and if no one challenges it or lets me know I missed them after 2 days from Winner Announcement, the Winners become official and the prizes will then be given out.
Thank you to All our SPUD Prize Sponsors and to all SPUD supporters and participants working to get STEEM to higher Elevations!!
Cheers!
