Welcome to the very first week of the Covid-Sessions. The Covid Sessions will be a weekly open mic competition held by us @theplunge.
How about that sleek design on the poster...? Did it myself!
No that was not the best poster in the world, we are aware hahahaha. Things will still get streamlined as we go. In Afrikaans there is a saying: "Van uitstel, kom afstel". It translates to "From postponing, comes canceling". That is why we are getting things off the ground whilst we are on the money!
Starting off, we don't have a fancy logo, sponsor to the competition or pretty much anything, but... if you work with us we can turn this into something worthy of a HIVE competition.
Let's not waste anymore time. The first week will be open to anything, you can play a cover or original, it can be a group or solo/instrumental or only voice as well, as long as you entertain.
Please note: some weeks will have theme's or rules to get people out of their comfort zone's.
Rules for submitting your entry
- All entries to be submitted by uploading your video via @dtube.
Edit: Due to difficulties with @dtube uploads can be made on any platform and then shared in a written post
- The title must be followed by " | Covid-Sessions Week # "
For example: Purple Rain Cover | Covid-sessions Week 1
- The first tag on @dtube must be "covidsessions"
- In the beginning of the video you have to say:
"Hi I am "Username" and this is my entry for Covid-Sessions Week #"
(The words do not have to be exact, this is just to validate that the video was recorded for the competition and that it is your performance)
- The song/piece of music must be longer than 1 minute 30 seconds.
- After finishing your post, comment a link to the video on this article.
Please note, you do not HAVE to upvote this post or resteem it. This will not count when deciding on the winner. We will however appreciate any love that is shown to help us build forward.
If you have read through all the requirements then the only thing left to do is record your video!!! We will be releasing a short mock video on how an entry should look for your reference and it will be posted as an comment just like you would when submitting your own. It will also be recorded using my phone to showcase the quality of the video/audio doesn't mather but it is appreciated.
Please note entries open as soon as the post goes live and for this week entries close on Sunday the 5th of April at 5am (UTC+2) A winner will then be chosen and the new week's post will be published.
Choosing the winners and giving the prices
How will the winners be chosen? The 5 posts with the most votes will be taken into consideration and then the top 3 of that 5 will be selected by myself and a group of fellow musicians.
Prize's????
First Prize - 3 @steembasicincome shares
Second Prize - 2 @steembasicincome shares
Third Prize - 1 @steembasicincome share
We know it's not massive, but hopefully as we get everything waxed we will be able to improve the rewards as well.
