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 accounts to a bunch of trusted members in the community over on Planet Googly 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 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, 0.166 SBD remain
and an available delegation-prize of 157.088 SP
plus
100% of all rewards on last week's winner announcement:
1.739 SBD and 4.172 SP and 2.865 STEEM
The declining price and growing SBD-Debt-Ratio 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!

As always, the 10 best #GooglyEyes posts were listed on Planet Googly 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:
Β
drumroll please...
π₯ HERE ARE THE WINNERS: π₯
π₯ Today's 3rd winner is: π₯
@v-rod with
"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!
Β
Β
π₯ The 2nd winner is: π₯
@bucipuci with
"Stories of ordinary things - Camera "
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!
Β
Β
π₯ And Our Grand Winner is: π₯
@creepyturtle with
"Alien threat"
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!
Β
Β
aaaaand
another drumroll, please
π₯ this week's Googly-Delegation-Winners are: π₯
@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!
Β

After Last weeks super saturated reds, I opted for dull grey concrete this week.
