May seems to be following April's lead by flying by - how is it already the fourth? Although for everyone looking forward to seeing how the standings turned out this month, I suppose it's a good thing it's here already. 😊

Before I get started, 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/hive-122221/@hivebuzz/pud-202205-feedback" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Feedback from the May 1st Hive Power Up Day</a> post...

<blockquote>

April was an incredibly busy month in many ways, so it's no surprise the days flew by and another Power Up Day seemed to pop up out of nowhere.  However, I seem to be in the minority when it comes to losing track of time, because we were definitely not lacking for people stacking their Hive today! 

I didn't see quite as many first time Power Up Day faces in my feed this month as I have before, but still plenty of newer Hive community members (as well as old timers) were doing some powering up today. And as I've said before, even if the total amount powered up isn't a huge number (since new usually means small as far as liquid Hive goes), it's still a huge win for us all. Especially given the ultimate goal of this initiative (which turned 4 years old last month) is to encourage our newest and smallest members to stake their tokens, so they can grow their accounts.

As always, 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 the blockchain, 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 for continuing to add to the blockchain fun. And here's to all the Hiveans, new and old, who continue to increase their voting power and influence on the blockchain - congratulations to you all!

I was correct for the most part, but wrong in an awesome way - while participation numbers wise held pretty steady, the power up total was much bigger than last month! Am I wicked happy about that?

&nbsp;

To break it all down, we had **95 qualifying entries** for the prize pool (compared to 92 in April) with **151 total entries** (compared to 150 last month) and **166 posts with either the #HivePUD, #HPUD, and/or #HispanicHPUD tags** on the first (163 last month).

As for the overall number, the power ups ranged from **0.002** to **2376.146** Hive Power, for a grand total of...

&nbsp;
<center><h1>16,245.238 Hive Powered Up!</h1></center>
&nbsp;


By comparison, the total in April was 10,340.008, which is about a 60% increase! So I'm thinking this month's result is...

<h2>The Lists</h2>

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

And as usual, on May 5th I'll publish the OFFICIAL written-in-stone list, and at that time the sponsors can award their prizes. The complete list is in my newly combined <a href="https://peakd.com/hive-122221/@traciyork/its-here-hive-power-up-day-for-may-1st-2022" rel="noopener" target="_blank">announcement & welcome to Power Up Day post</a>, and will be included in the official results as well.  

Again as always, special thanks to my numbers guy @abh12345 for sending along the raw data for me to use to put this together. You ROCK, 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.
