Welcome to the #GooglyPrize
Your weekly award for the best posts under #GooglyEyes
A record number of entries has been noted again in the past 7 days. The spectrum of expressions that are possible through those silly eyes is truly stunning. Everything from deeply peotic ramblings, through serious political commentary, all the way into just plain old silly googlyness...
That's amazing! But it also means winning a prize here is getting harder and harder as the competition keeps growing. I've posted some hints on how to make a qualifying entry and what you can do to stand out in a "review and update"-post a few days ago... if you missed that one, you should check it out later to learn more about this contest and to make the competition even harder! ;)
Now here we go again - let the fun begin:

How does the delegation pool work? [Read here!]
For today, I really had sooo many good entries to chose from that I almost feel bad about having to limit the number of winners. To make it easier for myself, I'll just focus on the roots of this contest for today: #eyebombing. I still end up with 2 winners per tier!
drumroll please...
🥁 HERE ARE THE WINNERS: 🥁
the images link to their original posts
🥉 Today's 3rd winners are: 🥉
@ivimipa with
"Contorsionista"
Googly trees have a fanclub of their own, I've seen many of their kind before, but never has anyone been dabbing before! Looking at it's state of health... I guess that's a YOLO situation there.
and:
@munaa with
"The Big Yellow Nose"
The minimalist quality and intense colour in this image captured my attention immediatly. I wish @munaa had shown the whole object, too in her post. But it's still awesome enough just as it is.
🥈 The 2nd winners are: 🥈
@davor27 with
"The bush caretaker"
What can I say... not much I guess?! That's just a good classic example of some #eyebombing!
and:
@marzi with
"nice worm poking his head"
And again... another great classic example of urban anthropomorphism - well anguisopomorphism I should say :P
🥇 And Our Grand Winners are: 🥇
@jsock with
"Googlyeyes with glasses"
Yeap... it keeps getting better! Look at this, as if it was made for those eyes!
and:
@isteemithard with
"Ethan & Elizabeth Electricbox"
I'll be frank (yeah that's a pun) the Googlies here didn't bring @isteemithard to the top rank of today's winners. The fact that he's steeming it so hard (oh my god another one) actually gave him a bunch of bonus points. There's names to his Googlies, a silly backstory, some personal blogging and trivia ... all in one #GooglyEyes post! Kudos!
aaaaand
another drumroll, please
🥁 this week's Googly-Delegation-Winner is: 🥁
@munaa
you'll receive the #GooglyPrize delegation of 109.808 SP for a week.
That was a complicated decision today. The choice was made on the fact that almost all other winners are pals on steemit and support each other well, while the remaining candidate had a rather high self-voting quota.
The #GooglyPrize continues!
prizes are being awarded every 7-8 days.
No-Conditions Policy:
No mandatory resteems, upvotes or follows required!
just:
- get some #GooglyEyes -
- stick them onto something -
- take a picture -
- post it with the tag #googlyeyes -
- post original content / don't spam -
DONE! You're qualified!
More Winners Every Week!
The prize-pool for the next issue contains:
12.184 SBD for upvotes and a delegation-prize of 112.158 SP

I've noticed that the past few awards had really dull winter-y titel images. I guess that comes with the weather where I live, but I really wanted something more alive for today, and luckily I found a good spot to get just that while at the same time giving another gentle reminder, that despite the amazing bandwidth of creativity shown here, at the heart of it, this is still also a street-art contest
look at those colors POP POP POP!
A huge shout-out goes to @krystle & @ausbitbank as well as @reggaemuffin! They helped me start this contest and are supporting it since!
@ausbitbank and @reggaemuffin are also running a witness,
why not consider giving them your approval?!
