Steemit Crypto Academy Contest Season 2 Week 3 [Summary] - Blockchain in our Lives

Dear community members, we are glad to be in contact with you again this week and trust you are good. The 3rd week of the season 3 engagement challenge in the Academy has ended and we appreciate your participation in the contest. Having evaluated last week's participation in the contest hosted in our community, we would like to give a summary of how things went and the top articles for the week.

The topic last week was centered on blockchain technology and how it is changing our everyday life, making life easy through its adoption in different sectors. Many articles brought forth their sides of the story, this enables many users to research more about the blockchain ad how it works, likewise, they were able to learn from the articles created by other participants.

Participants have been able to come up with their opinion about the future of blockchain , its advantages like decentralization which eliminates third parties, its facilitation of speedy transactions, and so on while many see immutability as a problem in some cases when there exist errors in transactions as data can't be further edited. In addition, users have talked about the implementation of blockchain in different sectors, especially in the health sector.

In the third week, we have received a total of 76 entries, it's quite interesting to know that we have no record of plagiarism at the end of the contest this week but there were 7 invalid entries from users who do not comply with the club status and others who have left Steemit for long and have only returned to participate in the contest in the Academy. See the table below.

From the performance image above, the very good scores category dominated with 33% followed by the good scores category with 32%. Out of the total entries, only 14% made it to the excellent realm, average articles covered 4% while below-average articles took a space of 8%. Invalid entries occupied 9% of the total entries received.

We have chosen the top 3 articles in the community, these articles were selected based on merits and their engagement with other users. In essence, excellent performance in terms of scores is the first criteria for selection followed by their interaction with other participants' entries.

We encourage users to work more on making quality content to make it to the excellent category and those with these high scores should interact with as many articles as possible. See the table below for the selection of top users in the order of their interaction with other participants.

We sincerely appreciate the users that participated in the 3rd week of season 3 and we would like to urge everyone to ensure their articles stand out having properly understood the contest theme. A new contest is running already, check the pinned article in the community to learn more and do well to participate in it. We look forward to your wonderful entries. Thank you.
