At the International Dateline, it has been SPUD day for several hours now. While in many parts of the World it is about to start and in others there is still a full day to go before December 1st. The Steem Blockchain interlinks a worldwide community of crypto-mavericks through events and initiatives like SPUD8. ![spud8suds.gif](https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/streetstyle/xAF4DCQS-spud8suds.gif) As predicted by the STEEM Magic 8-Ball, there will be suds for this SPUD-8. @beerlover will be sponsoring some BEER tokens as prizes for the winners. Hopefully this will help some quench that thirst for everything crypto. Head on over to @beerlover 's channel to see how else you can acquire more BEER! Remember to follow and support our very important prize sponsors, as well as supporting those young STEEM accounts that are looking to become stronger links to the STEEM Blockchain. ***Listed below, SPUD7 Winners - Please help recognize and support these young striving Steemians.*** @paragism @ph1102 @darrenfj @hazem91 @deeanndmathews @leoneil @mariita52 @galberto @nayhlaingsoe @golden.future @wongbraling @farm-mom @bxlphabet @joanstewart @rokhani @maxwellmarcusart @lightcaptured @reeta0119 @vcclothing

Rules to Win Prizes for SPUD8 :

`MUST ` have a reputation score BELOW 69.00 ( so 68.99 is good & Can participate.) AND more than 150 STEEM POWER (prior to SPUD8) BUT LESS than 7501 Steem Power. `MUST` have a reputation score of 42 & ABOVE (so rank of 41.99 will Not Win) `MUST` have at least 1 Steem Post in their blog about SPUD8 `MUST` Power Up Steem on December 1st, 2019 On December 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 SPUD8 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 December 1st. For Example: If you have 1000 Steem Power already powered up prior to December 1, and on December you complete steps 1-5 with a 100 Steem Power Up, and another Steemian has 200 Steem Powered up prior to December 1, and on December 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!! FULL STEEM AHEAD!
