And as always, a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who contributed to this month's  Hive Power Up Day, either through powering up, posting, offering prizes, or spreading the word. As I said on @hivebuzz's <a href="https://peakd.com/hivebuzz/@hivebuzz/pud-202201-feedback" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Happy New Year - Feedback from the first Hive Power Up Day of 2022</a>...

<blockquote>

Goodbye to 2021 and hello to what I think will be an amazing 2022, especially on Hive!

While I don't have the numbers yet, judging by my notifications both on here and Twitter, I think plenty of people took time out of their holiday celebrations to power up and post on the blockchain. I also spotted some new names joining in, which is wicked awesome - especially since the original idea behind Power Up Day was to encourage newbies to grow their accounts. And with the Hive Buzz  triple shot of PUD - PUH - PUM this month, it seems the message is getting out there!

As I say every month, a big THANK YOU to everyone who participated in this Power Up Day by powering up, posting, and/or shouting out on all traditional web 2.0 social media. All of those things help shine a light on our blockchain home, which in turn helps to grow our community. Special thanks to @hivebuzz for always BEEing such an incredible buzz-maker for Hive Power Up Day. And here's to the happy Hiveans who started off the year by increasing their voting power and influence on the blockchain - Happy New Years Power Up Day 2022 to you all!

Needless to say, I wasn't too surprised to see lots of new faces and more participation this month - what a great way to start the year off! 

To break it all down, we had **68 qualifying entries** for the prize pool (compared to 50 in December) with **121 total entries** (compared to 95 last month) and **135 posts with either the #HivePUD or #HPUD tags** on the first (112 last month).

As for the overall number, the power ups ranged from **2.001** to **1034.13**  Hive Power, for a grand total of...
&nbsp;
<center><h1>9,748.089 Hive Powered Up!</h1></center>
&nbsp;


By comparison, the total in December was 6,751.854. So almost an additional 3k up from last month, which is totally...

<h2>The lists</h2>

Here is the UNOFFICIAL winners list for January 1st. If you spot any errors, or your powerup/post was somehow overlooked, please shout out as soon as possible. 

And as usual, on January 5th, I'll post the OFFICIAL written-in-stone list, and at that time the sponsors can award their prizes (the complete list is in the <a href="https://peakd.com/hive-167922/@traciyork/hive-power-up-day-for-january-1st-2021" rel="noopener" target="_blank">announcement post</a>).  

Again as always, special thanks to my numbers guy @abh12345 for sending along the raw data for me to use to put this together. Much appreciated, Asher! &#x1f60a;

&nbsp;
&nbsp;

<center><h1><strong>PLEASE NOTE </strong></h1></center>

This list only includes those who powered up & posted about #HivePUD and/or #HPUD on the 1st, and met the criteria (reputation between 39 and 69 before powering up; Hive Power between 100 and 8000 prior to the 1st), and posted using the tag(s) so they qualify for prizes. I don't assign placement numbers until the official list is posted, and I've added a separate list below this one for those who posted & powered up, but their accounts were either too big/too small in their Hive Power or Reputation to qualify for the usual monthly prize pool.
