It appears that I lost track of the days. In the past several weeks, I published the result of the judging period 2 or 3 hours late. Today, it's one day late. Since this is the case, I decided to combine the two announcements into one.

Before I announce the eligible articles and the winners for this week's curation contest, I just want to first inform the community about the updates in our funding. Five days ago, @antisocialist sent 100,000 PAY to continually support this meme tribe activity:

Likewise, @greywarden100 sent 40,000 MEME 8 hours ago to award this week's winners:

Judging Outcome and Rewards

We have a tie between @marajah and @pascalukandy, and that is why I added 0.5 points to the presentation of @marajah's article.

@tanzil2024 received the highest score in engagement, for he got points in all three criteria. He was followed by @marajah who received 19 points in engagement.

• Based on the above criteria, 1st place goes to @tanzil2024 with a score of 96 points, and he will receive 10,000 MEME, 50,000 PEPE, and 15,000 PAY, all powered up.

• 2nd place goes to @marajah with a score of 95.5, and she will receive 5,000 MEME, 25,000 PEPE, and 7,500 PAY powered up.

• The 3rd place winner is @pascalukandy with 95 points. She will receive 3,000 MEME, 10,000 PEPE, and 5,000 PAY powered up.

Both @princessluv and @ogechukwu-martha will receive 2,000 MEME, 5,000 PEPE, and 3,000 PAY powered up as consolation prizes.

It appears that https://he.dtools.dev/ is down, and that is why I cannot include the transactions for the rewards. Kindly check your Hive Engine wallet. I just completed distributing them.

The same thing with PEPE rewards: please wait for @pepetoken to send the tokens to your Hive Engine wallets.

Once again, a big thank you to @greywarden100 for sponsoring this curation contest. So far, he has distributed 567,804 MEME tokens for this community activity, including both the incentives for the participants and the oversight of this curation contest. As for @pepetoken, he distributed 1,665,000 PEPE, and an additional 95,000 PEPE are pending distribution for later. In the case of the PAY token, 536,000 had already been distributed through the sponsorship of @antisocialist.

Thanks to all the sponsors for funding this weekly event.

Congratulations to all the winners!

Thank you for all your entries! Tomorrow, I will publish the 25th week curation contest announcement! I wish I won't be late this time.

More power to both the MemeHive and the Pepe tribes!
