<center><h1>Hop In and Steem On!</h1></center>

Hard to believe that this is the sixth Steem Power Up Day coming up in about 10 days, but it is. Many in the Steem community have been participating on this day while many others continue to make every day a SPUD day. I also now see initiatives out there that are burning Steem coin by sending them to null addresses. I personally prefer powering up Steem rather than burning it because with Steem Power backing your account you can do so much more. Although there is an overall benefit from the burned or lost Steem coin for all Steem hodlers, you can't direct that benefit is you so choose as you could by having your own Steem Power.

I use Steem Power to support good content as well as those Steemians in need throughout the World. I try to find a balance between supporting the Steemians that create daily unique content, and those Steemians that create more personal content but are also in need of both personal support as well as financial help. These are my favorite Steemians to support because I firmly believe that the Steem Blockchain has been a gift to humanity to be used for the betterment of ALL mankind. 

<center><h2>SPUD 6 PRIZES & UPDATES</h2></center>  

_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._

<center><h2>Rules to Win Prizes for SPUD6 :</h2></center>

`MUST` have a reputation score BELOW 69.00 ( so 68.99 is good & Can participate.) AND more than 150 STEEM POWER (prior to SPUD5) 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 SPUD6

`MUST` Power Up Steem on October 1st, 2019

On October 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 SPUD6 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 October 1st.

For Example:

If you have 1000 Steem Power already powered up prior to October 1, and on October 1 you complete steps 1-5 with a 100 Steem Power Up,

and

another Steemian has 200 Steem Powered up prior to October 1, and on October 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!
