The idea  behind initiative"SPUD" is @streetstyle

>The prizes are meant to incentivize the smaller Steemians, the planktons, minnows and barracudas out in the Steem Ocean to participate in powering up on SPUD, and hopefully create more understanding as to why Steem Power is what backs the Steem Economy.

Then the marketing of SPUD10  **(SPUD X)** starts.

It was amazing to see many who supported SPUD9 last time and also with good posts about SPUD

This time we will probably see an increase in the number of posts and sponsors

**Join us and support SPUD now**

**What is SPUD and How Will It Help?**

SPUD stands for STEEM POWER UP DAY, (SPUD) takes place the first day of every month.

**On this day:**

**We ask** that Steemians that are able, to POWER UP any amount of STEEM they have on SPUD day.

**We ask** Steemians that are currently Powering Down, to put a Stop on Powering Down for that Day, and if desired to commence the Power Down the following day.

**We ask** that those that trade or sell Steem to Not Sell or Trade Steem on SPUD Day, but to do it the day before or after if possible. Also, to cancel any type of Sell Order on the Exchanges.

**SPUD X PRIZES**
The prizes are meant to incentivize the smaller Steemians, the planktons, minnows and aspiring Dolphins out in the Steem Ocean to participate in powering up on SPUD, and hopefully create more understanding as to why Steem Power is important to user account growth as well as a show of Steem Blockchain support.

All eligible SPUD Prize participants who qualify will be entered into a giveaway of 9 STEEM (1 lucky winner) - Sponsored by @traciyork
winner of @traciyork 's prize will also win 10 STEEM POWERed UP gift by @livinguktaiwian

Rules to Win Prizes for SPUD x :
MUST have a reputation score BELOW 69.00 ( so 68.99 is good & Can participate.) AND more than 250 STEEM POWER (prior to SPUD X) BUT LESS than 8000 Steem Power.
MUST have a reputation score of 40 & ABOVE (so rank of 39.99 will Not Win)

MUST have at least 1 Steem Post in their blog about SPUD X

MUST Power Up Steem on February 1st, 2020

On February 1st, you MUST make a post about your POWER UP. It can be as simple as "I powered up X amount of Steem" to a simple picture/screenshot of your Power Up and posted to your Steem blog, or it could be a super long dissertation on Steem Power. ***IMPORTANT: SHOULD USE SPUDX Hash tags so that I can be sure to see them.***

The winners Must meet all 5 requirements, and it will be based on the Biggest Steem Power Up PERCENTAGE, not the biggest Power Up. This means that it will be based on the ratio between your current amount of Steem Power and the amount you power up on February 1st.

**For Example:**

If you have 1000 Steem Power already powered up prior to February 1, and on February 1 you complete steps 1-5 with a 100 Steem Power Up,

**and**

another Steemian has 200 Steem Powered up prior to February 1, and on February 1st Powers Up 40 Steem, then this 2nd user would be winning with a 20% power up versus the first example with a bigger power up but smaller percentage of only 10% based on their account.
__

The winners will be announced via a Steem Post a few days later or sooner, and if no one challenges it or lets me know I missed them after 1 day from Winner Announcement, the Winners become official and the prizes will then be given out.

Thank you to All our SPUD Prize Sponsors and to all SPUD supporters and participants working to get STEEM to higher Elevations!!

**FULL STEEM AHEAD!**

Cheers & Good Luck!
