Hi All,
Welcome to the Third week of The Comedy Open Mic Contest. Please note we have tweaked the rules slightly from the previous post, so please read carefully. The rules are quite likely to be refined as we go (hopefully for the better every time) so please bear with us.
Rules for Judges
- Contest will run for a minimum of 4 weeks, and will continue to run as long as it is sustainable.
- Prizes to be sent out within 24hrs of contest round closing
- @comedyopenmic will announce start and end of every round (approx 4am GMT Fridays, this will be adjusted if needed)
- Judges will do their best to review all entries
- Every effort will be made for @comedyopenmic and @idikuci to upvote all entries
- A big thank you to @take5 for her time and effort in upvoting everybody and ensuring @comedyopenmic spread the upvote love in round 2.
- This week @steemmatt will be given control over the @comedyopenmic account to upvote and comment on contestant's entries.
Judges:
*Due to the growing requirements of being a judge we’ve decided to bring in a 5th judge to spread the help with the load
If you see any of these guys around please upvote and thank them. It is because of their support that this contest is able to keep functioning. (other than @idikuci, please save your upvotes for the other judges and curators and donators).
Rules for Contestants
New Rule:
- Contestants must nominate 2 people to enter the contest per submission.
- 1 tag must be "comedyopenmic".
- Include "Comedy Open Mic Round 3" somewhere in the text/title.
- Self voting allowed up to $0.50 in value (To even out the playing field for little guys)
- Bot upvotes are not allowed. (If you use bots to upvote your own post, you will not be considered for a prize)
- Limit of 2 entries only per account. (Judges will choose their favourite entry for prize considerations)
- Original material Only. Entries that are not the original work of the poster as least in some form will be disregarded. If you are unsure if your entry is original, please ask us we will happily let you know.
- Dtube / DSound standup strongly encouraged. (see prizes below)
- Entry via a new post only (no recycled posts).
- Please go through and upvote 3-5 other contestants to show encouragement (even 1% will be greatly appreciated)
- Entries should be in english, it will be difficult for me to laugh if the judges cannot understand them. (Thoroughly encourage translation of non-english entries)
- Patience will be required as the process is all manual.
Prizes
- Court Jester will get 30SBD
- Court Jester will be chosen by the judges

- Entrants who resteem the Contest announcement or other people's entries will ensure a higher vote from @idikuci (the more resteems, the higher the upvote @idikuci will give you)

thanks for your support @trafalgar, we honestly can't do this without the support of our whale patrons, and especially from you. our maestro of humor, master of the absurd, the pussy of paradise, our one and only traffy. Muuuuaahhh! ;)
you had me at 'pussy of paradise'
The #comedyopenmic hashtag has been where I get myself some laugh after a busy day. You guys are doing a great job in keeping this project going.
Please as regard the area of nominating two people to participate, Is it compulsory for nominees to participate? Hope nominating someone else will not stop someone from participating in the further contests?
It won't. It is just a way of getting the word out to more people. We really want the contest to grow and make sure it can keep going long term. For that we need lots and lots of people entering.
Great stuff team. I will be more active once I get back in and settled in my new place. It’s a bit hard to do everything with only my phone. Looks like the group is starting off strong, will be entering and hoping to judge as well in the coming weeks
Awesome Will be good to see some entries from you :)
Just a friendly heads-up. I currently have cold/flu bugs munching on my brains and what not. I'm leaking snot everywhere. It has been difficult for me to keep up with curating. I had a few other distractions to deal with as well, but I should have my shit together soon, hopefully. I missed a lot, I apologize.
You have only your funny bone to apologize to, there are some exceedingly funny things happening at #comedyopenmic. Luckily for you and your funny bone we will do our best to ensure the contest continues for a really long time. So take your time to recover, no need to leak all over our funny jokes, they'll be here still and we can talk about your dick some more when you feel better.
Idi.
It's all good and we all have normal life to take care of as well. I have also been absent a lot this week unfortunately, but it seems we are growing in numbers so that can help divide the responsibility which is good as well. Hope you feel better soon !
I've had some good laughs from this contest and I hope it keeps going, I'm keen as fuck so I've already submitted my week 3 entry and I'm looking forward to seeing what happens this week!
Just note you get 2 entries this week. and we ask you to nominate 2 people per entry to come join our contest.
I will again be a participant of this contest.
Thanks!
Awesome, glad that you keep coming back.
Thanks brother @idikuci
PotUS!!! Hahaha oh man, I thought being an aussie was rough at the moment.
How much longer until the next election?
hey @melbourneswest make a funny post about PotUS or being an aussie and submit it to #comedyopenmic, and invite 2 other friends to join, it doesn't have to be super great, even a chuckle gets upvotes from all the judges and our community at funny
Great job so far! Thanks for all the hard work & thank you to all the judges, sponsors and curators.
looking forward to seeing your 2 entries this week @bitfiend!
It's a lot to ask of me... to be funny twice a week that is... we'll see :)
oh you can do it!..... we believe in your bitfiend!
Ow man! Just missed round 2, would've sent in my entry in an hour.
No probs, will enter this one!
All good. Can do 2 entries this week. :)

Hola!! Me gusta lo que estàn haciendo, jijiji, para refrescar el animo, me encanta!! Ahora quiero saber, si lo expuesto debe ser inedito? Puedo participar aunque no sea yo el autor?
Depends on the work. We prefer that the work you post be your own. Or at least that you have permission from the creator. If you can convince us that you have the authors permission then it is ok.
