Any further entries posted Beyond This Post will not be considered for the Top 6 Winning Prize Rewards.
Please remember to get your entries on time within the allotted time slots for each VIBES Week and Remember to...
1) Double check the quality of your video entry, and PLEASE REMEMBER, ONLY ONE ENTRY Per Participant/Contestant/Person Per Each Vibes Week, unless it is a legitimate Collaboration, for example @username1A enters once by themselves Solo and then, @username1A enters again with a friend or family member on that other person’s account in Collaboration for a different song performance, which counts towards @username2B’s account. (Although abuse of this gray area rule, Or multiple entries posted within a single Vibes Week, Will result in either very reduced Post Reward Upvotes, no support at all, or at the very extreme, disqualification from all future Vibes Competition Weeks)
2) That you didn't forget the very important Intro Stating/Saying the actual Current Vibes Week Number LOUDLY and clearly enough, and your Intro is the same recording as your actual entry with preferably no cuts (keep your intros effectively short) and you didn’t just edit in a new intro into an old video (which is against the rules). Unless otherwise cleared and clarified with an Official Judge.
3) That your video actually plays, is not set to Private, but actually viewable with Unlisted Link or Public, and the video actually plays with Sound with at least 2 minutes of play/performance time with music (or acapella), and that the Sound matches the Visuals in real time perfectly...( avoid latency, lagging sounds or bad editing when matching up vocals to visuals, which is why live performance is the best and preferred to avoid these issues)
Some entries have singing before their mouths are actually open and moving, or instruments played without any hand movements, etc...
4) That the sound quality is good, no distortions or high frequency feedback noise (listen to your own entry with headphones before you post it, get a second or third opinion from someone non biased who will tell you the truth if it's good enough to post or not)
Also, make sure that if you are using a wired or wireless microphone that's attached to your t-shirt or other clothing item, that the microphone is not picking up all the sounds of ruffled movements from your body language and you moving around the mic as you perform.
5) That you performed live and we can visually see your face with decent lighting (if you're playing an instrument, please show your face, hands and instrument) Unfortunately some people pretend and fake their playing...
Also Please Keep in Mind of the Camera Angle that it is Not directed too closely to your face and or angled Up to your nostrils/nose. PRESENTATION IS KEY!
6) That you recorded in a relatively quiet place without wind or distracting loud noises
7) That your backing track instrumental is loud enough for us to hear it, but low enough that it doesn't overpower or block out your singing/rapping voice and or the instrument you are playing
8) Provide lyrics for your listeners whether it is a Cover or an Original and especially if it is in another language, also, translations are a nice consideration too for the community to enjoy
9) Remember that this is a competition with opportunities and prizes and hundreds of participants involved and that you should always give it your very best effort, continue to improve, experiment, grow and not give up
10) That you performed with Passion and No Fear, and didn't hold back anything
11) That this is a welcoming, caring music community to connect with others, collaborate, and to have fun! And while you're having fun, don't forget to tell other talented musician family members and friends to join.
REMEMBER, IT IS BEST OF SKILL, LUCK IS NEVER NEEDED!
Community Voting Poll will begin soon, us Judges are preparing the Top 10 list now. Thank you for your support, participation, respect for the guidelines and understanding.

Hello @verbal-d , does this Cut-off time Affect Submission on Discord too??
Asking coz I submitted my Video here Yesterday But I had some troubles sharing it on Discord as well
I don't think it affects that since the main submission is on here.
Thank you for your quick reply. You are correct
Glad to have been of help
No, don’t worry, the submissions on discord don’t count at all. What matters are the posts on the Hive Blockchain using hive.blog/peakd.com/ecency.com or any of the other web3 frontends built on the blockchain technology.
Alright thank you
Also I made my promotional Video today and it has been attached to my post
Gracias por esos buenos consejos @verbal-d
De nada, me alegro de ayudar a todos
I have a query brother, if there is a publication that is less than 2 minutes long. Does it violate a rule? I say, because there are fast songs that in less than two minutes can be executed.
I composed a theme for this new week but realized it was under two minutes. It's a rap I created.
