Dear Community Members👋,

Project Catalyst is growing at an incredible rate. We’re thrilled to have so many great ideas but we need your help to ensure that every idea gets heard and every proposal receives feedback.

So, this week we are running the #FeedbackChallenge!

Here are the rules:
- Find three proposals with no feedback or low feedback on IdeaScale: http://cardano.ideascale.com/
- Enhance each idea with your best advice to make it the most impactful it can be.
- Let the Project Catalyst Telegram group know by tagging #FeedbackChallenge along with the titles of the projects you commented on: https://tttttt.me/ProjectCatalystChat

We have some of the world’s brightest minds contributing to Project Catalyst. When we work together we can achieve the highest levels of human collaboration. So please help us in this experiment?

We hope you’ll get involved by contributing to (at least) three proposals.

Check out our Feedback Guide (https://bit.ly/3qJYqmC) for inspiration on how to advise each project in the #FeedbackChallenge and don’t forget to post in the Project Catalyst Telegram group.

We recommend using our new Feedback tool to help you identify proposals with the lower number of comments that need your input: https://cardanocataly.st/feedback-challenge-tool/#/

We also encourage you to give ‘kudos’ to constructive comments made by others

Commenting will be locked on September 2nd, 11:00 UTC. Make sure to leave your feedback by then. Log on to IdeaScale now to look for proposals in need!

👋 Project Catalyst is Fund6 is rapidly moving forward and in a couple of days, we will be transitioning into finalization stage. This means that proposers will have a quiet time to incorporate the feedback they have received and finalize their ideas. It also means that Community Advisor registration will open up in just 2 days - to learn more about it join our weekly Townhall meeting: https://bit.ly/3rCicSR

☝️But before we jump into a new phase of a project we wanted to remind you that #FeedbackChallenge is still on! We’ve seen an incredible amount of engagement with over 2k comments already submitted. Yet, there are some ideas that still need your input.
With that being said here is how you can contribute:

1️⃣ Find three proposals with no feedback or low feedback on IdeaScale. We recommend using the new Feedback tool to help you identify proposals with a lower number of comments: https://cardanocataly.st/feedback-challenge-tool/#/

2️⃣ Enhance each idea with your best advice to make it the most impactful it can be.

3️⃣ Let the Project Catalyst Telegram group know by tagging #FeedbackChallenge along with the titles of the projects you commented on. https://tttttt.me/ProjectCatalystChat

Project Catalyst needs your expertise and advice!

Project Catalyst participants are busy refining their proposals in Fund6. That means that we are on the lookout for community advisors (CAs).

We are looking for independent input from individuals who are passionate about using their knowledge, expertise, and ingenuity to make the proposals on Project Catalyst more clear, feasible, and impactful.

Why to become a CA?
* Influence the future of Cardano
* Level up your skills and awareness about innovation
* Receive CA incentives ($162,000 in total allocated)
If being a CA sounds right for you, go over to our Ideascale innovation platform, and complete your registration now by answering the pop-up form.

Remember that:
* CAs cannot propose and CA in the same challenge!
Watch KeWW video explaining the Community Advisor role here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNjTQ5ogHCU

Registration will end on September 15th at 11:00 UTC.

Anything else?
