Not only do they also give weekly prizes to audience picked performers from the contest, but they have also started sponsoring Open Mic with a 25 Steem weekly donation! How cool is that?

Steemit Open Mic Loves Dtube So Why Do I Have To Add A Youtube Video To My Open Mic Entry --- by @luzcypher
NOTE: While we used to allow acapella performances to get in, recently there have been too many entries from singers without any musicians. Open Mic is a community of musicians and for this reason, tickets without a musical instrument will not be considered a valid entry. NO KARAOKE
- Live musical performances made specifically for this contest. A musical instrument should be played in your performance.
Entries must follow these rules to earn prizes. For a more in-depth understanding of the rules read, What Are The Rules To Enter Steemit Open Mic And Why Do We Have Rules Anyways
Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.
Victor Hugo
It is very important to say the words "Steemit Open Mic Week 101" AND YOUR USERNAME at the beginning of your recorded video. Posts without those words spoken in the beginning of your live, recorded video do not qualify for prizes.
From now on, anyone entering Open Mic must say Steemit Open Mic Week Number (current week number) and their username to have a valid entry. This is to stop scammers from stealing your video and entering it as their own.
Here is an example of a correctly titled post.
These requirements make it easier for judges and curators to find your posts and upvote it. Ignoring these requirements only hurt your chances of earning rewards.

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 the spirit of Steemit Open Mic night.
So.. Steemit Open Mic submissions in comments, community voting and reblogging are encouraged.
However, we need to avoid public vote abuse and keep a certain standard for Steemit Open Mic night.
- So.. community voting as the 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 "STEEMIT OPEN MIC WEEK 101" AND YOUR USERNAME AT THE BEGINNING OF YOUR VIDEO
We're looking for real live musical performances for this contest. Some people have posted old videos from YouTube and it's difficult to verify that it's really them performing. They will be disqualified from the contest.
If you want a chance to earn the prize, make a new video and say STEEMIT OPEN MIC Week 101 at the start of it.
.

If your song is an original song, add orginalmusic as your 2nd tag. This will help curators know it is an original song which currently pays a Steem bonus to you.

Hey, that's a cool system you've got going there, live looping and all. Your voice is so pleasant, you know, and I like the way you're layering it here. Reminds me of Ayla Nereo, who is a fellow looper. Are you familiar with her?
Thanks so much! And wow! I’ve never seen her before but I really dig this song.
Thanks so much for showing love and sharing another singer with me. ☺️
Here I leave my participation for this week

Hello! I make my entry for this week with a cover. It's original of a Venezuelan Rock Band named LOS COLORES. Their style is special, very good. They say they play bolero rock, which means a fusion between a Cuban romantic genre and rock, and results in a sweet and fun sound.
I hope you, guys, enjoy it!

I really like this idea, @luzcypher.
I was a music producer years back so, I always find myself meeting artistes and aspiring young ones. Just yesterday I met one doing a recording with his phone. He made a little home studio with 2 electronic keyboards and his little Android phone. It was impressive to see so, I invited him to join Steemit and told him about the Open Mic Contest. He sounded very interested and promised to join the platform asap.
I hope to see this contest grow into something very big and globally appreciated.
Posted using Partiko Android
Thanks for the referral and for checking it out. Going on two years now. It's doing well on the platform.
The next plan is to make an app for Open Mic and get more people entering. We have about 200 a week entering now and last Nov. Dec. when the price of Steem was $8 we had 770 people a week entering.
Come join in the fun. You can also see last weeks winners here:

I can help with the app building... or are you a programmer too?
