# 250 Sonic Groove Prize!

Each of my weekly top 5 picks will also receive 50 staked Sonic Groove each.
This is mostly to make up for the fact that I suck at writing.
All of the other judges write these beautiful and elaborate comments about your performances and the most I can come up with is like one sentence.
I suck lol
Also, please note that if you didn't make my top 5, it's not because I didn't like your performance. 
I truly love all the performances each week and having to narrow it down to only 5 is incredibly difficult....so I make my cats do it.
