Steemit Open Mic is growing so fast that a lot of people are entering without really reading the rules so I want to do a little house cleaning for those entering the contest.
The bigger this grows the easier it is to miss someone's entry post so following these rules makes us see you have entered so we can upvote you.
For more on the rules read, What Are The Rules To Enter Steemit Open Mic And Why Do We Have Rules Anyways?
Steemit Open Mic is a live music contest and we need to know that you are really playing or singing us a song for this contest in particular. That's why to qualify for prizes you must say "Steemit Open Mic" (next week number) at the beginning of your video just before you play or sing the song. If you don't or if you edit in later onto a prerecorded performance you will not qualify for prizes.
If your song is an original song then you MUST put the word "original" in your title. Original songs get a small bonus right now and it is easier to find all the original songs with the word added in the title.
The next thing that is very important it to begin your title with "Steemit Open Mic Week (the current week number)" and place that as the first words of your title or I may not be able to find your post at all.
Here is a perfect example of a correctly titled post to enter Steemit Open Mic for an original song.
This would be a perfectly titled post for a cover song entering the contest.
Theses posts are really easy to find in the feed and upvote them. They can easily be spotted so none of them get missed.
Also, @andybets from steemreports.com is working on a chart that is targeting those keywords to sort all entries by originals and covers.
It is SO cool and you can check it out with this sneak peak of the Steemit Open Mic Chart
NOTE: The order this chart lists the performances has no bearing on choosing the finalists. Just because a video is at the top doesn't mean they will win the contest.
Steemit Open Mic Week 55 performances are in and there's still time to vote for your favorites.

Thanks for these "end of week" posts @luzcypher... It allows me to see all the entries I might have missed or those that may have fallen through the cracks in any glitches that the steemit report page might have within it.
It's cool to have them all in one place. There's always a few last minute entries I will add to this page as they come in. All these posts are in the order they entered, just so you know.
I really like how you interact with the community. You're always cheering people on and supporting them like a true Steemweaver.
Thanks, man! And yeah - I've already found three that I totally missed... The general platforms been a bit funky lately as has the steemit reports chart page - so this post is perfect for making sure I get the chance to hear all the entries... Thanks again, brotha!
My pleasure. Thanks for taking the time to listen to them.
Well as life would have it I actually did upgrade my computer so that I could keep up with the Open Mic... its just amazing to see how many musicians are in this platform now!!! Long live the Open Mic!!!! cheers my friend @luzcypher
Congrats on the new computer. Cheers @meno!
Here's my post, I think I'm a bit late to the party for week 55, sorry :( link to post
I thought this Open Mic idea for musicians here on steemit is it really good idea and a great way to share some good Indie music without all the expense of advertising on a main platform like regular advertisers. Keep up the good work spotlighting everybody and have a blessed day.
ok i will try also Steemit Open Mic,thanks for the nice information..great post..
Majority of these guys were good! Openmic is a real deal! I loved those classical entries i think of making a piece of mine in the next. :-)
We're having fun. Come join the party. Each week's contest begins Sunday and ends Friday. Here are the rules.
Thanks @luzcypher! It's been a great contest! I have some musician friends in our country and i look at this (Openmic contest) as the main reason for me to inspire them to join Steemit... Will it end? I hope not.
Many musicians have joined Steemit for Open Mic. The more the merrier.
Show them the trending page for Steemit Open Mic. That may help convince them to join.
Yeay..... I like it hahaha

hello @luzcypher, how about week 56 is it started already?
The rules explain everything. The contest runs each week beginning Sunday through Friday with winners announced on Monday.
Here is this week's entry just released. Have fun! Look forward to hearing your entry.
Begging for Follows for follows is a bad idea. You should read this about Steemit etiquette before you hurt your reputation. Asking for follows for follows is not a good approach on Steemit and doesn't really help your posts even if you get thousands of followers.
If you still don't believe it read this for proof that even with 12,000 followers this guy got from begging for followers his posts still make less than a dollar.
