Steemit Open Mic News

@jessamynorchard started a new Facebook page for Steemit Musicians to post their stuff for Steemit Open Mic and other music related projects on Steemit. Let's use the group to lure people away from Facebook and on to Steemit.

You can also post your Steemit Open Mic link to Steemit Open Mic Post Promotion on Discord and get more upvotes for your entry.

Open Mic Week 38

Thanks for supporting, upvoting, Resteeming and entering Steemit Open Mic, a community of music lovers for music lovers and musicians.

2 Votes = Win Win

You can help support Steemit Open Mic by making sure to vote two times.

• Once on this post so the payouts for the winners will make this contest self-supporting. We're very grateful @pfunk is helping out right now, but helping this post with upvotes gives more rewards to the winners and the contest will be self supporting.

• And vote a 2nd time on the link of your favorite entry's post found in the comments below. This will help support all the musicians that entered, even if they didn't win the contest.

• In fact, some entries earned very well, even though they didn't win. And that's good because musicians need to eat.

Winners from week 38 will be announced tomorrow, Monday, June 26th, 2017 so be sure to follow @luzcypher for updates and thanks for everyone that entered, upvoted and resteemed Steemit Open Mic.

Steemit Open Mic Process

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

• Need to promote community participation in spirit of Steemit Open Mic night.

• So.. Steemit Open Mic submissions in comments, community voting and reblogging is encouraged.

• However, we need to avoid public vote abuse and keep a certain standard for Steemit Open Mic 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 Steemit Open Mic submissions in their own blog posts.

• IT IS CRUCIAL WHEN YOU RECORD YOUR VIDEO THAT YOU SAY "OPEN MIC WEEK 39" AT THE BEGINNING OF YOUR VIDEO We're looking for real live performances for this contest. Some people have posted old videos from YouTube and it's difficult to verify that it's really them performing. In the future they will be disqualified from the contest.

• You can still post an older video if you want and enter so you can earn on your post, but prize money will not be paid out for those posts. If you want to earn the prize, make a new video and say OPEN MIC Week 39 at the start of it. If you just want to enter and don't care about the prize money, then you still can.

• You can sing acapella if you don't play an instrument or sing to a recording if you want and still enter Open Mic.

How To Enter Steemit Open Mic Night

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

• SAY THE WORDS "OPEN MIC WEEK 39" AT THE BEGINNING OF YOUR VIDEO

• 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 YOUR POST MUST READ: OPEN MIC WEEK 39 before any other text in the title.

For example: Open Mic Week 39 - Hold That Tiger by @cheetabot

• You can title your post anything you want just be sure the first words say OPEN MIC WEEK 39.

• VERY IMPORTANT: THE FIRST TAG ON YOUR POST MUST BE openmic All one word. No spaces.

• POST THE LINK TO YOUR POST IN THE COMMENTS OF THIS POST. This will increase your exposure and votes while increasing the amount of prize money AND WILL LET US KNOW YOU HAVE ENTERED

Judging, and Contest Prize

• Submit your performance in the comment / reply section by 12.00 PM UTC Time (Sunday 2nd JULY 2017). Find your UTC time here.

• You may submit as many performances as you like.

• Performances are not judged on production value, only on performance and entertainment value.

• Steemit Open Mic judges will deliberate 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place based on the selected performances.

• Each week the prizes will be paid as follows:
• 1st place: 50% of Steem Prize.
• 2nd place: 25% of Steem Prize.
• 3rd place: 25% of Steem Prize.

ANY ADDITION PRIZES DONATED TO OPEN MIC WILL BE SPLIT WITH THE SAME PERCENTAGES LISTED ABOVE

New Music Category Communities

Music Category communities are coming together on Steemit and if you're a music lover, please show support and join in the fun. Here's a few new places to find great music.

• Steemit Artist Music Compilation
  Submit your QUALITY ORIGINAL AUDIO TRACK today! Music Artists On Steemit Submit For Soundlegion Steemit Music Artists Compilation V 1 --- by @soundlegion
  

• Steemit Musicians

Suggestion: openmic must be the first tag to enter open mic, but adding other music related tags (such as music, music-trail) may help your post get more attention and perhaps even get curated by those music curators.

If your song is an original song, you may want to add orginalmusic as your 2nd tag.

Thank you all for the participation!

Thank you for the positive support from the Steemit community and a special thanks to @kevinwong for his guidance, encouragement and support and @verbal-d for writing a song that inspired the idea and @pfunk for helping and supporting Open Mic.

Hi!

Well.. one of these weeks I will get it right, but I forgot the little message at the beginning. But, hoping you can trust me this round. Just recorded 1/2 hr ago.

William Fitzsimmons' "Everything Has Changed" about his parents' divorce:

https://steemit.com/openmic/@kayclarity/open-mic-week-39-kay-clarity-cover-everything-has-changed-by-william-fitzsimmons

Xx, Kay

[luzcypher]

Sorry, I can't qualify it for rewards unless it is a live performance that days "open mic week 39" at the beginning.

It is very clear in the rules. Has to be that way to keep people from scamming it. Please remember to say it next time and make the first tag openmic so I can easily find it in the thread. I love your voice and songs and hope you play again.

[luzcypher]

Looks like your post did quite well all on it's own though.There's a good audience here. Congrats!

[kayclarity]

I wish I was talented.

[cherie]

but you are talented ! try writing words and listen to your voice , all is about energy and we each one have a very unique one :) maybe you are talented in different arty skills .

[bigjgc2002]

It's too late this week, but I may try next week.

[arsenal49]

This one of the reasons steemit is cool. Encouraging people to post their original music. I like it. I mentioned you in my latest post, as I think even more should support this project.

[luzcypher]

Thanks for the mention on your posts. I like your 3 users posts. You have a new follower.

[arsenal49]

Thanks man! I appreciate it! I will start putting even more focus on users with a rep below 55. I really think there are some cool users at the deep of this ocean of steemit users.

[cherie]

can we share a french song , i wrote and made the music and sing in french ..

[luzcypher]

Yes, of course. Music is the universal language.

[cherie]

AH Sweet :)))

[cherie]

do we have to be in front of the camera ?

[luzcypher]

We have to know it is really you playing for the contest. Wear a mask if you want but say, "Open Mic Week 39" at the beginning of the video. We have to do this or anyone could claim anybody's video as their own. That is why it has to be live too.

[cherie]

oh ok , i can add a layer showing my face and then play my video ?

[luzcypher]

If its a video of you playing live specifically for this contest and you say "open mic week 39" at the beginning it will qualify for rewards. If it's a video you recorded earlier that does not say that then you can post it but it will not qualify for prizes other than what your post earns.

[cherie]

oh ok , i will see what i can do :) thank you very much Luzcypher <3<3<3

[cherie]

So i reedited it and you can see me now in the beginning of video :)
