Open Mike Night Contest Process

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

  • Need to promote community participation in spirit of openmic night.
  • So.. openmic submissions in comments, community voting and reblogging is encouraged.
  • However, we need to avoid public vote abuse and keep a certain standard for openmic night.
  • So.. community voting as 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 openmic submissions in their own blogposts.
  • Right at time of contest closing, the votes from all performances submissions will be counted and winners posted the following day.

How To Enter Open Mic Night

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

  • 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 the title of your post must include the words: Open Mic Night Week 2 before any other text in the title.

For example: OpenMic Night Week 2 - Don't Stop Believing by @username

  • You can title your post anything you want just be sure the first words say OpenMic Night Week 2.

  • Very Important: The first tag on your post must be: openmic All one word. No spaces.

  • Post a link to your post in the comments section of this post. This will increase your exposure and votes while increasing the amount of prize money.

  • On your blog post, add a link to this post to promote Open Mic Night and increase the prize money. Ask people visiting your postto vote for your post and for the link to this post so there will be more prize money for the winners.

Cool cover. I'm glad to see you in Open Mic again. Put you in the openmic steemit chat room if you want in and added your entry there. https://steemit.chat/channel/openmic

I actually got to meet Michael Jackson at The Record Plant recording studios in Burbank, California. In the studio no less and all I could think about was wanting to touch his nose, but I refrained and settled for shaking his hand.

I got a little carried away, is it OK to do 2 songs in one post?

Oh well... Here's my entry
https://steemit.com/openmic/@beanz/open-mic-night-week-2-singing-glen-hansard-songs

I saw and enjoyed them both :)

This really is a new song that I'm entering for week 2. Ignore my other comment

https://steemit.com/openmic/@steevc/open-mic-night-week-2-i-can-t-write-a-love-song

Very cool. Upvoted and posted in Open Mic chat.

That was fun to listen to, @steevc. Thanks for including the lyrics so I could follow along. :)

Here's my entry for week 2. I need to go back and add the image in my post, because I was following each direction one at a time, and posted in before I got to that bullet point :p

Sing On! Steem On!

Cool song. Thanks for singing for us.

Thanks for the opportunity.

Here is my ENTRY . Much thanks to @pfunk and @luzcypher ~CHEERS

Loved your playing. Thanks for joining in the fun.

Thank you kindly, my pleasure

Here's my entry, thanks for organising, you've helped me get round to recording this after it's rolled around in me for a few weeks :) Good luck everyone! https://steemit.com/openmic/@lloyddavis/open-mic-night-week-2-blockchain-blues

Thanks for this contest @luzcypher. It's lots of fun seeing what everyone puts out there for competition. Lots of great musicians here! Also, it gives me an excuse to record live acoustic covers, since my studio (and therefore recording of original songs) is currently in a state of flux. Upvoted and resteemed, and here's my entry. https://steemit.com/openmic/@paulhallman/open-mic-night-week-2-entry-paul-hallman-diamonds-on-the-soles-of-her-shoes

Oh, and I'm trying to use your Open Mic Night image in my post, but for some reason it's not working. There seems to be something weird going on with posting right now, so I'll try to edit it again later and see if there's any difference.

There's been some periodic image issues lately on the site.

Here's my latest song recorded at the weekend. I'm already working on the next one :) https://steemit.com/openmic/@steevc/openmic-night-contest-be-a-star-an-original-song

Ignore this one. It was included in week 1

Thanks for entering. This song was in week 1 though. Do you have another song?

I thought I had a different one in week 1 (Steemit song). This one is new. I may have another next weekend or I may do some more covers.

I'm pretty sure you entered 2 songs in week 1. Here's where all the people that enter Open Mic can chat on SteemitChat https://steemit.chat/channel/openmic So spread the word and let's see if the whale will sponsor it. Oh, and @pfunk donated 100 Steem for this week.

Okay, didn't know if they both went in there :) That's great to have that prize money. I'm getting plenty of votes on my posts, but they don't translate into earnings for now. Actually, my Steemit song has earned some more that is due soon, so that's something. I'd be making the music anyway

Steem on and jam on. I'll be posting the winners shortly.

Hey what's up I know I usually do EDM, but here is my submission for Open Mic Night Week 2..
It's an acoustic cover of Matt Wertz - 5:19

To me, just entering and interacting is the fun part--however I'm pretty competitive. :)

Thanks again. Just the opportunity to share in truly a Creator's space is enough to be stoked on.

I'm so glad you're having fun with this contest. So am I and I can't wait to hear your next song. Woot! Woot! Here's where all the people that enter Open Mic can chat on SteemitChat https://steemit.chat/channel/openmic So spread the word and let's see if the whale will sponsor it.

I'm running a weekly contest and using a template to explain the rules to participants. The rules are the same so that's why it looks like the same content. Thanks for checking cheeta. Can you sing cheeta? You can join in on the fun at open mic night. Do you know, "Hold That Tiger?"

:D best answer I have seen so far to the @cheetah comments. Keep it up @luzcypher :) Up-voted and re-steemed

Thanks buddy for resteeming and upvoting. Can you think of any other songs Cheeta could sing. Maybe something from the Lion King?
