For last week, the contest was centered on Steem and Tron Integration . In this theme, users where ask to answer the following questions: ___ - What do you know about Steem and TRX Integration? What are its purposes? - What is the ratio of TRX tokens on our payouts? Also, give the history of this ratio (how it changed time by time). - What are the ways to claim and withdraw the TRX rewards from Steemit Wallet? - Give a complete guideline on the best way to link an external wallet with the Steemit Wallat to claim TRX tokens. - Have you faced any problem regarding TRX rewards? Also give your feedback on the benefits of this Integration. ___ We are so happy to receive many beautiful entries in this contest. Most of the users demonstrated and showed us their knowledge on this contest theme. The number of entries were less than the last week and we hope that it will improve in the next weeks.

General Statistics

For the just-concluded week 3 contest, we received a total of 19 entries within the contest's validity period. We recorded only 1 invalid entry to this contest. The reason was that the user was on a power down. However, we are happy that there was no plagiarized content this week. We will continue working hard to completely eradicate plagiarism and AI content in the Crypto Academy and hope to continue seeing pure and genuine content creators. Let's take a look at the table below.

Total Entries	Invalid Entries	Plagiarized Content
19	01	0

Performance Distribution

As I have already mentioned that most of the entries to this contest were very good. There is a table for the distribution of quality of entries on the bases of their rating. Excellent (9 or Above)|1 ---|--- Very Good (8-8.9)|10 Good (7-7.9)|1 Average (5-6.9)|3 Below Average (5 or Below)|3 Invalid Entry (Power Down)|01 ---|--- From the table above, you can see that most of the entries were in **Very Good** category. We mist encourage those users who have scored average or below average. We hope that they will improve their work by the next time. ![Divider.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZsCs3hxbFYfB1naY8BRycxss8bpjyDARDk4U3xuf5Dry/Divider.png)

Week 3 Winners

Finally, we are here to announce the top 3 users of the week 3. Remember, the selection process of these winners is not only considered base on scores alone but it's considered base on both scores and general engagement with other participants in the contest.

There are some articles that scored high but didn't engaged with other entries and as such, they were left out of the selection. It should be noted that this is an engagement challenge and we hope users can engage to the best of their ability.
