Hive Open Mic ( #openmic ) is a global community of music lovers, for music fans and musicians. Each week is a live music invitation for expression and connection.
Hive Open Mic
Week 28: October 18-24, 2020
Our Hive Open Mic community is a haven for creative expression and genuine connection. All are welcome. Every contributor can be proud of the fact we are building a live music movement, celebrating songs with an international audience. At a time in human history when many are lonesome and fearful, our event stands for global harmony.
Invitation
"I Am"
The theme for Hive Open Mic Week 28 is: "I Am." To enter this event, you'll express yourself creatively with a song that helps us to explore the current theme. Our weekly theme encourages us to connect in the creative space as we explore new territory together. Original songs and cover songs are welcomed. All musical forms and genres are OK.
Guidelines
- Produce - Begin your live music video with the words: “This is Hive Open Mic Week [1] and I am [@username],” substituting the current week and your own username.
- Present - Post your video on Hive, writing the story of your creative journey with the song, and tagging #openmic.
- Promote - Share your link in the comments section of Sunday's open mic invitation in order to be included in the highlights.
- Prosper - Enjoy the gifts of community through engagement, upvotes, and encouraging comments.
