This is a weekly report of the Suggestions category. It contains basic stats, tips and interesting open source projects to start contributing. Also, I will show you the most common mistakes of this week and how to fix them.
In this post:
Another great week! We had 18 contributions and 17 had a chance of being rewarded, or have already been rewarded. The average score was almost 47, it is not the best but I believe that we can improve the quality of the category..
Like the previous week, ~5 users submitted 2 contributions (or more) and we also had new contributors
The number of contributions is above 15 for the second week in a row and that is something that we did not see in the last months. We need to work harder and try to make this number an average.
The most active moderators this week were @syedumair and
@sinem006.
Contest: This was the last round of March, let's see who are the winners!
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.
This week we did not have a Staff pick, but check this great posts:
Prize: 10 STEEM every month (+ the Community Bounty, which is 60 STEEM).
Total Prize: 70 STEEM
How? Submit a contribution to the Suggestions category. A contributor can submit more than one contribution per week. If your contribution got a score higher than 50 you get points.

| 100 or Staff Pick | 7 |
| 90 - 99 | 5 |
| 80 - 89 | 4 |
| 70 - 79 | 3 |
| 60 - 69 | 2 |
| 50 - 59 | 1 |
| 0 - 49 | 0 |
When? At the end of every month I will send 75% of the Total Prize to the winner and 25% to the second place.

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.
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.
If the overall of your post is excellent, but your idea has little impact on the functionality and/or usability of the project or could be achieved in a easy way, you will get a few point less. Try to suggest unique, original and useful features.
The proposal should be as informative and descriptive as possible. This will help the project owner (and the people who read your post) to understand your suggestion. Avoid being vague about the benefits of your idea.
Mockups are really useful to explain an idea. We (and most of the users) are not Graphic designers. We do not expect high quality images, but few details would transform a poor mockup in a great one. We have excellent graphic designers in our community, use our Discord server, share your images, ask for help. They will guide you to improve your mockups.
In case that you want to contribute on the Suggestions category but do not know any project, check this list.

SteemAX helps minnow content-creators and whale curators by automating an exchange of upvotes between their quality Steemit blog posts, allowing both a 1 to 1 as well as disproportional exchanges that grant bigger curations, better support than a bid bot, and the long-term support they both deserve.
