Statistics of Participation

During our participation in the engagement challenge season 3, we have received entries from different 109 users who have created a total of 199 entries. It is worth noting that not all those entries are valid, some were marked invalid due to a lot of reasons while some are plagiarized content.

At the end of the season, we realized only 169 entries were accepted valid, 27 were invalid, and 3 cases of plagiarism. Let's take a look at the table below for the weekly participation.

The tables above have been utilized to show each user's participation week in and week out including their performances in each of the contests.

Season 3 Winners

It's time to select our top 3 winners for season 3, we have a lot of users that have performed well in terms of grades and engagement throughout the season. One of the basic things to look into before considering a user for winning is the frequency of their entries in our contests.

Out of the 109 users that participated in all our contests, only 11 users have been able to participate in all 4 contests hosted for this season and this is where the selection begins from. Other factors considered are the performance of users in terms of the overall score throughout the season and how well they have engaged with other users.

Now to the list of winners having considered the aforementioned factors.

In addition, we would like to encourage more users out there to try as much as possible to attend all our contests, it may seem hard until you try, do more research and prepare to win subsequently.
