Thanks go to ProCW for this awesome graphic!
Thanks go to ProCW for this awesome graphic!

Hello again everybody, and welcome to this week's HubNugget Wannabe world premier!

This is B.T. Evilpants, reporting from the red carpet on Minna Street in beautiful San Francisco. I've just been informed that the limos have left the historic Palace Hotel, and will be arriving shortly.

While we await the nominees' arrival, I would like to point out the fantastic effort it took for these hubbers to make it this far. It's no small task to write a potential HubNugget. Bringing together the right balance of words, relevant pictures or videos, and the perfect layout is a labor of love. Doing it in a way that stands out in a crowd of more than 2000, well, that demands recognition. And that's exactly why we're here today. In fact, I see the first limo is pulling up now. This is just so exciting! Let's go see who gets out!

It's The Academy Members!

That's probably the biggest limousine I've ever seen! And here come the dignitaries! The first one out is Ryan Hupfer. He's just back from his honeymoon, and looking fabulous in a powder blue tux with ruffled shirt, white cumberbund and white faux alligator shoes. As a Hubpages employee, Ryan publishes the weekly newsletter, writes the HP blog and generally communicates awesomeness wherever he goes.

Right behind Ryan, is Shirley Anderson. The HubNugget team leader is elegantly wrapped in aluminum foil, and sporting acrylic platform shoes, with goldfish swimming around in the heels. And, unless my eyes deceive me, she is making a valiant effort at bringing back the beehive hairdo! Now that's courage!

Here comes ProCW, and I think we just learned what the "CW" stands for. I'm thinking Championship Wrestling, as he's rockin' the unitard look, and posing and flexing his way into the building. He certainly knows how to make an entrance!

Patty Inglish has stepped onto the red carpet looking resplendent in a Versace toga and sandals. The laurel wreath perched atop her head marks her as the HubNugget team's wise philosophizer. If you read her hubs, you'll see that title is well earned!

As the limo pulls away, I can see Ripplemaker across the street. She's wearing the official HubNugget cheerleader skirt and saddle shoes, and she's leading the crowd in a very enthusiastic cheer. Let's see those spirit fingers, Ripplemaker!

More Limos!

 The guests of honor have arrived! As promised, the ten Hubnugget Wannabes of the week are ready to make their debut. Let's see who they are.


What Is A HubNugget?

 

To be eligible for HubNugget consideration, you must have joined hubpages within the last 60 days, and have an author score of 75 or above. Your hub must have been published within the last 7 days, and have a hub score of 55 or above. That's it!

Now you may be asking how you can achieve all of that when you're still learning your way around here. Excellent question! If you recently joined us, then you're halfway there. If you haven't, why not go ahead and join now? It's free, and it only takes a few minutes.

Now about those scores. Build yourself a hub with well written, original content. Next, add a few relevant photos. You can even add a video, or news feed if you like. Move your capsules around to create an attractive layout, and preview your handy work. Now all that's left to do is hit that "publish" button, and watch your score rise. Your friends at HubNugget Central will do the rest!

If you want more detailed information, Shirley Anderson has written a hub on the whole process. You can find it here.

Now It's Time To Do Your Part

 Now that you've met the nominees, it's time to make 5 lucky Wannabes very happy. You've read the hubs, now place your vote! Let the world know what you think!

A Note to the Wannabes

When you published your hub, you thought your work was done, right? Wrong-o! You've only just begun! If your hub appears in the list above, then you need to get out and promote the living daylights out of it. Remember, winning one of the 5 coveted HubNugget spots in the newsletter means your hub goes out to more than 40,000 readers. That means traffic, fans and possibly revenue! Tell your friends and family they don't need to join in order to vote.

Great hub, B.T.!

Do you have any tape? It seems that I've torn a small hole in my tin foil dress.
