The number of contributions continue decreasing over the weeks and the average score was also a bit lower.
The good thing is that all contributions have a chance of being rewarded, or have already been rewarded.
Hopefully next week is better.
We did not have a Staff Pick this week.
Due to the low number of contributions, the contest is still quiet.
Spread the word
Make a post about the contest, add some info about Utopian and the Suggestions Category and paste the link in comments. I will send some liquid STEEM to the best one.
Remember that upvotes are never guaranteed.

Community Bounty (CB)
A big thank you to @emrebeyler, @tdre, @blockchainstudio, @amosbastian, @leotrap, @tobias-g, @utopian-io, @syedumair and @knowledges.
The CB is real thanks to them.
Disclaimer: The prize is taken from my personal account. This is an unofficial contest. It is only for the Suggestions category. You must not complain to Utopian about this contest. If something is wrong with the points, or if the rules are not clear, you should write to me, not to Utopian.
Common mistakes and how to fix them
The aim of this section is to show you the most common mistakes found this week. Followed by a short description and tips when applicable. Usually, I split the section in two: Contributions with a score of 25 or less and Contributions with a score of 50 or less.
1 - Contributions with a score of 50 or less
1.1 - The impact on the functionality and usability of the project is low
If the overall of your post is excellent, but your idea has little impact on the functionality and/or usability of the project, you will get a few point less. Try to suggest unique, original and useful features.
1.2 - The possible solution was not described in sufficient detail
When you propose a new feature, it is great if you add a possible solution although this is not mandatory. Explain how to implement it.
You can add a pseudo code script with your possible solution and detail in which file it should be added.
If you do not know how to code, you can explain in details how this new feature should works. Where should be implemented? In which component of the app? In what position? Why is that a good position for that feature? What happens if you click on it?
Mockups are useful. Edit your images, try to follow the pattern design of the app. For example, if the app use Material Design, try to follow the rules of Material Design and add Icons which are listed in their site. Do not paste a random image/icon that you found on Google.

As always, I am impressed with the good work you are doing, and how you are bringing more value to the Suggestions category. The report contains relevant information about the category, as well as, great tips for the category contributors.
The contest is great, but less competitive in the current month. I think it would be nice if you make the rules to be less strict. You could make in a way that, a post that receives a score above 50 will get one point. Consistency is another important thing we should consider.
Please note that while the CM hasn't changed the footer, I am not scoring #iamutopian posts based on the questionnaire. They have their own metric, and that will be the case until we go live with the new guidelines and new questionnaire, which will be comprehensive enough to reflect these types of posts.
