Prizes

Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.

It is very important to say the words "Steemit Open Mic Week 66" at the beginning of your recorded video and as the first words of your post title. Posts without that at the beginning of the title are hard to find in the feed and we may miss your post. Posts without those words spoken in the beginning of your live, recorded video do not qualify for prizes.

If your song is an original song by you it is very important you put the word "original" in the title and "originalmusic" as the second tag of your post

Here is an example of a correctly titled post.

These requirements make it easier for judges and curators to find your posts and reward you for original songs. Ignoring these requirements only hurt your chances of earning rewards.

Steemit Open Mic Process

Keeping it short and sweet, here is the flow of considerations for the Steemit Open Mic contest:-

  • Need to promote community participation in the spirit of Steemit Open Mic night.

  • So.. Steemit Open Mic submissions in comments, community voting and reblogging are encouraged.

  • However, we need to avoid public vote abuse and keep a certain standard for Steemit Open Mic night.

  • So.. community voting as the first filter, before internal voting.
  • Another problem: late submissions are usually disadvantaged as they get less attention on the contest post.
  • So.. we've tried to mitigate such a problem by including unique votes of Steemit Open Mic submissions in their own blog posts.
  • IT IS CRUCIAL WHEN YOU RECORD YOUR VIDEO THAT YOU SAY "STEEMIT OPEN MIC WEEK 66" AT THE BEGINNING OF YOUR VIDEO We're looking for real live performances for this contest. Some people have posted old videos from YouTube and it's difficult to verify that it's really them performing. They will be disqualified from the contest.

  • If you want a chance to earn the prize, make a new video and say STEEMIT OPEN MIC Week 66 at the start of it.

  • You can sing acapella if you don't play an instrument or sing to a recording if you want and still enter Open Mic.

How To Enter Steemit Open Mic Night

  • In a well lit quiet room, use your cell phone to record your performance. See recording tips here and here

  • SAY THE WORDS "STEEMIT OPEN MIC WEEK 66" AT THE BEGINNING OF YOUR VIDEO

  • Upload your performance to YouTube or other video hosting site.

  • Create a post on your own Steemit account pasting the URL of your uploaded video.

  • IMPORTANT: THE FIRST WORDS IN YOUR POST MUST READ: STEEMIT OPEN MIC WEEK 66 before any other text in the title.

For example: STEEMIT Open Mic Week 66 - Hold That Tiger by @cheetabot

  • You can title your post anything you want just be sure the first words say STEEMIT OPEN MIC WEEK 66.

  • VERY IMPORTANT: THE FIRST TAG ON YOUR POST MUST BE openmic All one word. No spaces.

  • POST THE LINK TO YOUR POST IN THE COMMENTS OF THIS POST. This will increase your exposure and votes while increasing the amount of prize money AND WILL LET US KNOW YOU HAVE ENTERED

Judging, and Contest Prize

  • Submit your performance in the comment / reply section by 12.00 PM UTC Time (Friday 5th JANUARY 2018). Find your UTC time here.
  • You may only submit 1 (one) entry per week.

New Music Category Communities

Music Category communities are coming together on Steemit and if you're a music lover, please show support and join in the fun. Here are a few new places to find great music.

Suggestion: openmic must be the first tag to enter open mic, but adding other music-related tags (such as music, music-trail) may help your post get more attention and perhaps even get curated by those music curators.

If your song is an original song, add orginalmusic as your 2nd tag. This will help curators know it is an original song which currently pays a Steem bonus to you.

Thank you all for the participation!

Thank you for the positive support from the Steemit community and special thanks to @kevinwong for his guidance, encouragement and support and @verbal-d for writing a song that inspired the idea and @pfunk for helping and supporting Open Mic.

Please contact @luzcypher in SteemitChat for any further questions you may have and you can post your entry there too. https://steemit.chat/channel/openmic

Esteemed steemians :) It's week 66 of the amazing #openmic #music contest and this week I have a special guest. My wife and I sing the all-time classic "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen (famously reinterpreted by Jeff Buckley) with a special video scene in the inner city of Beautiful Copenhagen.

As always, a big THANK YOU to @luzcypher, @pfunk and all the judges for making this amazing contest as wonderful as it is.

We wish you a happy new year!

I love this song. Nice interpretation, and sweet idea to blend images of you like if time stopped in a busy surrounding life...

thank you very much for the kind words @muphy that feels incredibly good to hear :) The credit for the idea of blending in timelapse scenes belongs to the video's creative director (aka my wife)

Nice cover, I like it.

Lyrics

“A New Year to start fresh, and to truly express,
The thoughts we have always loved, but would at times forget.
So much has been built, now the foundation is set,
And the time is right now for us to truly go get,

Whatever has been calling our hearts toward,
It's time to take a deep breath, step up, and move all ourselves forward,
The ship is taking off, and it's our last chance to board,
Soon we'll take flight and see our beautiful wings soar.

We've done all of this work, and have been through so much,
And We truly know there's more to this life than luck.
The past has overwhelmed us and made us feel stuck,
But now we've slowed it down and felt no need to rush.

Allowance is key for our new year ahead,
it could come to us easily, there's no need to beg.
We're soaring through new heights we haven't seen yet,
But let twenty eighteen be our greatest year yet.”

That flow! ON point! :D

Here's ours, enjoy! Make sure to watch long enough to see our dog Barley greet the camera :) https://steemit.com/openmic/@smith-house/steemit-open-mic-week-66-charlie-s-circle
