HubNugget Wannabes, Come on Down!
91You May Be Next On The HubNugget is Right!
Come on down, Wannabes and Readers! We've got some great contestants this week on The HubNugget is Right.
There's no wheel spinning, price guessing or costumes required in this game, just great writing and good layout.
How to Play the Game
This one's easy. Ten great Wannabe HubNuggets have been chosen to sit in the contestant's box. Readers will cast their vote in the poll for their favourite hub. At the end of the voting week (Wednesday), the five hubbers with the highest percentage of votes win.
Tell Them What They Won, Johnny
Our winners get an all expenses paid spotlight in the weekly newsletter! *crowd goes wild*
But that's not all! Each of our five winners will receive a personal email form letter of congratulations from one of the HubNuggets team member.
There's still more! The five lucky winners will have their hub name and win mentioned in the forums.
*lots of applause, ooh's and aah's*
Okay, now you all know how to play and what the prizes are. Sooo, HubNuggets Wannabes, come on down!

Wow, I had a hard time choosing once again. All of the hubs deserve a top vote. Congrats Hubnuggeteers a job well done. 'NuggetPickers' super-duper choices.
regards Zsuzsy
With one hand held over my heart and the other raised high over my head holding a stray squirming Jack-a-lope I promise to uphold the constitution and secret or sacred laws of the famous 'NuggetPickers' with the help of my lucky rabbits foot. :)
If I can be serious here for just one tiny moment. Thank you team for inviting me in. I look forward to being a part of the Hubnuggets Team. I firmly believe that being the author of one of the chosen 'Wannabes' is one of the best incentives that can be given to her or him to keep writing many, many more great hubs.
Thank you again team I will do my best to snoop out the best, shiniest 'gold-nuggets'.
Zsuzsy
Hey, BT, you should win something for first place. Tell him what he won, Johnny. Oops, Johnny's on break with Vanna, sorry.
You're right about it getting more difficult to choose a favourite!
Hi, NuggetPicker Zsuzsy! Now that you have been officially sworn into HubNugget office, welcome once again to the team! We were all nuggety excited when you agreed to join us.
Re your serious comment, I couldn't agree with you more. I've seen it happen with my own eyes that a hubber is so encouraged that they 'blossom' very quickly. It's a heartwarming experience for us, that you'll soon start to feel, yourself.
Honestly, Zsuzsy, we're so stinkin' happy that you're here with us!
Lots of good times are approaching and we look forward to the wonderful Zsuzsy and RedElf as they take there places with us. What fun!
So how do we get votes? Do we ask nicely or do we hunt the non-voters down? I will have to weigh the odds and get back to you on that.
Great work again this week! Awesome reads, each and every one. Thanks for bringing them to our attention.
Hey, Zsuzsy! Please don't hurt anyone's voting finger. :)
Why thank-you, Rope! Hope you enjoyed your reading and remembered to vote.
I am so very honored to get on this list! No one told me about it and I just happened to find it. WOW!
Of course I have to read the others before I vote!
Thanks for the honor!
Mighty honored and pleased to have Zsuzsy and RedElf on the team! Yeah... :) Three cheers! And to the nominees, congratulations! Woohoo :)
Congrats to Zsusy Bee and RedElf as for the nugget I voted! :)
Congrats, Resspenser! Check your email and perhaps your spam filter, an email went out to you yesterday. Don't forget to promote your hub and oh, you can vote for yourself. ;) Good luck!
