^{Need more details and numbers about the Prize-Pool? [Read here!]}

The top-10-posts were shortlisted on Planet Googly where the Googly Friends & Family including myself were allowed to vote for their three favourite posts among those.

^{today's guest judges were: @hazel420, @hopehuggs, @krystle, @mathowl, @okkiedot
disclaimer: they were not allowed to vote for their own entries!}

Since the prize-pool has been filled generously last week (thanks @reggaemuffin!) we'll split the prizes in between two winners per tier. That results in a 3rd place this week still receiving more SBD than a 2nd place last week, so that should be more than fair! :D

and now, drumroll please...

🥁 HERE ARE THE WINNERS: 🥁

🥉 Today's 3rd winners are: 🥉

@hopehuggs with
"Poem: What the CactEye Saw…"

This funny little poem (check the post and read it!) inspired by a Googly CactEye received two votes and a 3rd place today!

and:

@tillygerbi with
"Sunshine Smiles"

This vibrant sunny smile makes it on the pedestal with two final votes and a lot of good vibes.

🥈 The 2nd winners are: 🥈

@gabrielaa with
"Love at first sight"

This cute little love story also received 2 final votes, since it's a #GooglyEyes debut for @gabrielaa (and her whole family) I decided to let her land on 2nd today.

and:

@mathowl with
"WARNING: this post may contain nuts"

Usually this contest is about putting eyes on things and not making faces out of things, but the ingenious wit in this post justifies a qualification. And popular demand with 3 final shortlist votes confirms that this is an owlsome #googlyeyes post! But since it's a bit far from the original theme of this contest, it only comes in 2nd.

🥇 And Our Grand Winners are: 🥇

@nunopher2013 with
"No puedo con tanta carga"

This longnosed metalhead received three votes, and while the post might be a bit short, this is exactly what #GooglyEyes is originally about, expressive faces on interesting objects. Congrats.

and:

@warrkin with
"Ed, Edd and Eddy"

Ed, Edd and Eddy (Edd pictured above) also came in with three final shortlist votes, how fitting. The post contains a little logging and a little blogging and a whole lot of good spirits. A deserved winner-winner!

aaaaand

_{another drumroll, please}

🥁 this week's Googly-Delegation-Winner is: 🥁

@nunopher2013

you'll receive the #GooglyPrize delegation of 147.743 SP for a week.

_{@nunopher2013 has the lowest self-voting quota among the winners (2.9%) and a slim wallet of his own, so the delegation should be extra awesome with him. Congrats and Kudos!}
