A little over a week ago, I launched my <a href="https://hive.blog/joinhive/@traciyork/the-joinhive-twitter-gif-creation-contest" rel="noopener" target="_blank">#JoinHive Twitter Gif Creation Contest</a>, even though at the time my prize pool sponsor (@theycallmedan) was AFK (away from keyboard), and I only had a small amount of Hive myself to offer.

**The good news** - a bunch of people created some awesome Tweets & gifs for entries into the contest!

**The not-so-great news** - @hivetips is still undergoing maintenance (thanks to Twitter being such a twit...lol), so I can't award the prizes on Twitter as I'd hoped. Instead, I'm sending them directly to everyone's wallets and following @hiro-hive's lead by announcing the transfer on each tweet. 😊

**The wicked awesomesauce news** - Dan peeked in just long enough to confirm his original offer (and thank you very much to @aliento for sending it along) so now everyone gets a much bigger prize! 🎉 🎉 🎉 

Thanks so much for supporting this contest, Dan even when you're so busy with offline stuff - you ROCK!

That means I have 125 Hive to divide among 8 entries. At first, the math hurt my brain...

But then I realized that one particular gif really stood out for me, so I decided to award that person just a smidge more for their effort.

So congratulations to @pacolimited, @eve66, @hiro-hive, @jenina619, @sgt-dan, @plantstoplanks, and @fionasfavourites for entering and coming up with some super cool and creative reasons & gifs promoting our blockchain home. I'm sending you each 15 Hive for your entries!

And @xcountytravelers, all the time you spent figuring out how to turn Snickers adorableness into a gif was time well spent. I'm sending you 20 Hive for melting my brain with her cuteness! For those who missed it...

I'm also adding all the gifs created by @eve66, @hiro-hive, @sgt-dan, @pacolimited, @fionasfavourites, and @xcountytravelers to both of the Official Hive Gif Libraries -  <a href="https://tenor.com/users/hivegifs" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">HiveGifs on Tenor</a> and <a href="https://giphy.com/channel/hivegifs" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">HiveGifs on Giphy</a>! I'll include your names as hash tags, to make it easier for you to find them.

Don't forget! There are still a few days left to enter @stellabelle/ @hivepeople's <a href="https://peakd.com/hive-154303/@hivepeople/joinhive-referral-contest-usd200-of-usdhive-hiveswag-t-shirt-prizes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Join Hive Contest</a> - the first three places are tightly contested right now, with @femcy-willy coming up from third place to tie @jeanlucsr for first place with 7 verified referrals each, and @soyunasantacruz's right behind them both with 6 verified referrals of her own! 

<center><h1>Thanks again to everyone who supported this contest with reblogs, tweets, comments, and entries!</h1></center>

Be sure to shout out if you want to see more contests like this - I had so much fun doing it, and I'd love to have an excuse to do another one!
