Average score
This week we had only two contributions but, the quality was really good.
This is almost the same scenario than we had in week 45, few contributions but high scores.
One was made by @ckole, an active user of the category, and the other one was made by the always great @tobias-g. He used to contribute to the category very often but, for some reason, he stopped. Hopefully we will see more contributions from him. His post was staff picked. The first staff pick of the Suggestions category (if I recall correctly).
Today is the end of the first round of the mini contest and we have a winner!
The second round (December) starts right now!
Remember that upvotes are never guaranteed.

We had a Staff pick! Yay! :D.

Also, the contribution made by ckole is a good post to read and take as an example.

Congrats @ckole! You won the first mini contest! I will send you the prize as soon as possible.
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. But, this week we did not have bad contributions (fortunately)
1 - Contributions with a score of 50 or more
1.1 - The quality of the mockups/images could be better
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.
Interesting open source projects

I appreciate your pretty work on the category and your attempt to grow the category with the mini contest. Thank you!
Congratulations to @ckole, and good luck to every contributor.
About the staff picked, we have had few in the past, I have more than 3 in the category:))
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.
Your contribution has been evaluated according to Utopian policies and guidelines, as well as a predefined set of questions pertaining to the category.
