![GooglyPrize GooglyEyes Contest](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRQ5s4cnW6J9hMZVLQhqiwhtcyfyxTJh6TxbS364c44BF/geyes__gprize_50_winners.jpg) ## Welcome back to the #GooglyPrize There's actually a bunch of exciting things to talk about today:

Your host @fraenk, that's me, I'm going to be off-line, off-grid and off-chain, for the week to come. But I hope that won't matter to this show. I have fabricobbled a bot to give access to the @googlyeyes account*s* to a bunch of trusted members in the community over on [Planet Googly](https://discord.gg/ZK4c87x) where they have the ability to approve, upvote and resteem valid entries to the contest while I am gone... so, despite avoiding my responsibilities to the contest, I hope the community can fulfil my commitment to run this show continuously and uninterruptedly. Fingers-crossed the bot's don't crash while I'm gone. This is kind of an exciting experiment! This contest is for the community, and I am stoked about the idea of having it run *by* the community, too! And then there's this numeral elephant in the room... No. 49... that means the next coming issue of these winners-announcement will be a beautiful big 50, but there's something less obvious behind that number... it's the 1-Year Anniversary of this show, too!! The [official announcement](https://steemit.com/googlyprize/@fraenk/announcing-the-googlyprize-a-weekly-sbd-giveaway-for-eyebombing-post-your-images-under-googlyeyes-to-qualify) about starting this contest was posted on July, 2nd, 2017. I should come back from my little spiritual retreat just in time, but chances are we'll actually celebrate the 1-Year-Anniversary Issue No.50 a day late on the 3rd... but I am definitely already looking forward to finding a lot of awesome, maybe even celebratory #GooglyEyes posts to pick our anniversary winners, it's going to be absolutely amaze-balls!!! what a wall of text, I know.. ### **TL;DR** - I'll be offline for a few day, but the community has access to the curation accounts - **Next week's ISSUE NO 50 marks the 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY of the contest.** now back to the regular program... **Qualifying entries were submitted by:** @patrick36, @bucipuci, @gregoriojose, @mileidy10, @photoquest, @mariabarreto, @warrkin, @creepyturtle, @airam05, @eshley11, @mandysp, @lighteye, @semipermeabile and @v-rod **who all posted about their #GooglyEyes with passion.**

# The Prize Pool: carried over from last week: **1.283 SBD** ^{1.117 SBD have [bought ~1.920 SBD in upvotes](https://steemit.com/googlyprize/@googlyeyes/re-googlyeyes-googlyprize-this-week-s-winners-issue-no-48-20180621t074844825z), 0.166 SBD remain} and an available delegation-prize of **157.088 SP** *plus* **100% of all rewards** on [last week's winner announcement](https://steemit.com/googlyprize/@googlyeyes/googlyprize-this-week-s-winners-issue-no-48): **1.739 SBD** and **4.172 SP** and **2.865 STEEM** _{The declining price and growing [SBD-Debt-Ratio](https://steemit.com/steemonomics/@fraenk/steemonomics-til-why-are-we-suddenly-getting-liquid-steem-rewards) is seriously draining the SBD-pool, while it helps the delegation prize grow, this is still not ideal and we have a celebration coming up:} **@googlyeyes is sponsoring an additional 5 SBD for the cash pool** ### **that's 6.905 SBD in the cash pool**: 40% will be used for next week, 60% will be paid out today! ^{3rd - 10%; 2nd - 20%; 1st - 30%} ## **164.125 SP** will be delegated to a googly winner! ^{Need more details and numbers about the Prize-Pool?

As always, the 10 best #GooglyEyes posts were listed on [Planet Googly](https://discord.gg/ZK4c87x) where the Googly Friends & Family were allowed to vote for their final three favourites among those. _{today's guest judges were:} ^{@dexterdev, @hopehuggs, @mathowl, @okkiedot, @photoquest, @steemseph, @zneeke} ^{disclaimer: they were **not** allowed to vote for their own entries!} As usual, the choice wasn't easy and there were quite a bunch of entries getting 2 votes from the guest judges. I had the honours of picking these final winners from the lot: *drumroll please...* # 🥁 HERE ARE THE WINNERS: 🥁 ### 🥉 Today's 3rd winner is: 🥉 @v-rod with ["The forgetful Ramon"](https://steemit.com/googlyprize/@v-rod/googlyeyes-48-the-forgetful-ramon) [![The forgetful Ramon](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmejuFjtJzT2SAkkWdbvCpYYE9Tnfrhs465K5ReuENmLpx/image.png)](https://steemit.com/googlyprize/@v-rod/googlyeyes-48-the-forgetful-ramon) *I'm always happy to see a new face join the googly family and today we have another debut on the pedestal. That one made me chuckle quite some. Check out the post, it's a #GooglyEyes comic strip!* ### 🥈 The 2nd winner is: 🥈 @bucipuci with ["Stories of ordinary things - Camera "](https://steemit.com/cesky/@bucipuci/stories-of-ordinary-things-camera-googlyeyes-pribehy-obycejnych-veci-fotoaparat) [![Stories of ordinary things - Camera ](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmP2RcpoNz65cz89T3ezNDJSfG7onixygcTeSa78Cp8MCT/camera.gif)](https://steemit.com/cesky/@bucipuci/stories-of-ordinary-things-camera-googlyeyes-pribehy-obycejnych-veci-fotoaparat) *These "stories of ordinary things", I'd consider them true #GooglyEyes classics, and they always come with an amazingly done GIF, glad to have one for the pedestal again, today!* # 🥇 And Our Grand Winner is: 🥇 @creepyturtle with ["Alien threat"](https://steemit.com/googlyeyes/@creepyturtle/alien-threat-googlyeyes-1) [![Alien threat](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmaARyMN9Dnf7mZhJDK6GZWHEe5uU43pavB4SSHpDnS2zp/image.png)](https://steemit.com/googlyeyes/@creepyturtle/alien-threat-googlyeyes-1) *And another newcomer makes it all the way to the top today. This post includes a whole variety of little Googly Aliens invading our planet, all of them are pretty cool and you should definitely check out this whole post!* ### aaaaand _{*another drumroll, please*} ### 🥁 this week's *Googly-Delegation-Winners* are: 🥁 # @creepyturtle / @bucipuci you'll receive the #GooglyPrize delegation of 109.416 / 54.708 SP for a week. _{Ok, that's new, we've never split the delegation pool before, but our second and first winners both have the exceptional perfect self-voting quota of **0%** and @bucipuci actually had a little bit of a lead in the community voting... so let's break with some old habits and start a 2/3-1/3 split of the delegation awards!}
