Welcome back to the #GooglyPrize

There's actually a bunch of exciting things to talk about today:

now back to the regular program...

Qualifying entries were submitted by:

@patrick36, @bucipuci, @gregoriojose, @mileidy10, @photoquest, @mariabarreto, @warrkin, @creepyturtle, @airam05, @eshley11, @mandysp, @lighteye, @semipermeabile and @v-rod

who all posted about their #GooglyEyes with passion.

The Prize Pool:

carried over from last week: 1.283 SBD
^{1.117 SBD have bought ~1.920 SBD in upvotes, 0.166 SBD remain}
and an available delegation-prize of 157.088 SP
plus
100% of all rewards on last week's winner announcement:
1.739 SBD and 4.172 SP and 2.865 STEEM

_{The declining price and growing SBD-Debt-Ratio is seriously draining the SBD-pool, while it helps the delegation prize grow, this is still not ideal and we have a celebration coming up:}

@googlyeyes is sponsoring an additional 5 SBD for the cash pool

that's 6.905 SBD in the cash pool:

40% will be used for next week, 60% will be paid out today!
^{3rd - 10%; 2nd - 20%; 1st - 30%}

164.125 SP will be delegated to a googly winner!

As always, the 10 best #GooglyEyes posts were listed on Planet Googly where the Googly Friends & Family were allowed to vote for their final three favourites among those.

_{today's guest judges were:}
^{@dexterdev, @hopehuggs, @mathowl, @okkiedot, @photoquest, @steemseph, @zneeke
disclaimer: they were not allowed to vote for their own entries!}

As usual, the choice wasn't easy and there were quite a bunch of entries getting 2 votes from the guest judges. I had the honours of picking these final winners from the lot:

drumroll please...

🥁 HERE ARE THE WINNERS: 🥁

🥉 Today's 3rd winner is: 🥉

@v-rod with
"The forgetful Ramon"

I'm always happy to see a new face join the googly family and today we have another debut on the pedestal. That one made me chuckle quite some. Check out the post, it's a #GooglyEyes comic strip!

🥈 The 2nd winner is: 🥈

@bucipuci with
"Stories of ordinary things - Camera "

These "stories of ordinary things", I'd consider them true #GooglyEyes classics, and they always come with an amazingly done GIF, glad to have one for the pedestal again, today!

🥇 And Our Grand Winner is: 🥇

@creepyturtle with
"Alien threat"

And another newcomer makes it all the way to the top today. This post includes a whole variety of little Googly Aliens invading our planet, all of them are pretty cool and you should definitely check out this whole post!

aaaaand

_{another drumroll, please}

🥁 this week's Googly-Delegation-Winners are: 🥁

@creepyturtle / @bucipuci

you'll receive the #GooglyPrize delegation of 109.416 / 54.708 SP for a week.

_{Ok, that's new, we've never split the delegation pool before, but our second and first winners both have the exceptional perfect self-voting quota of 0% and @bucipuci actually had a little bit of a lead in the community voting... so let's break with some old habits and start a 2/3-1/3 split of the delegation awards!}

The #GooglyPrize continues!
