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 62" at the beginning of your recorded video and as the first words of your post title. Posts without that at the beginning of the title are hard to find in the feed and we may miss your post. Posts without those words spoken in the beginning of your live, recorded video do not qualify for prizes.
If your song is an original song by you it is very important you put the word "original" in the title and "originalmusic" as the second tag of your post
Here is an example of a correctly titled post.
These requirements make it easier for judges and curators to find your posts and reward you for original songs. 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 62" 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.
If you want a chance to earn the prize, make a new video and say STEEMIT OPEN MIC Week 62 at the start of it.
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

- @music-trail team is part of the SteemTrail project, curating good music you can find here.
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, add orginalmusic as your 2nd tag. This will help curators know it is an original song which currently pays a Steem bonus to you.
Thank you all for the participation!
Thank you for the positive support from the Steemit community and 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.
Please contact @luzcypher in SteemitChat for any further questions you may have and you can post your entry there too. https://steemit.chat/channel/openmic

We would like to thank you all for your spirited participation in making this a big part of the Steemit music community!
Had some reworked travel plans that have extended my journey home and also an unfunctioning discord last few days! no sound legion top 5 this week, but all will be sorted and smooth ( I foresee ) by weeks end, back on the next.
Thanks for letting me know. I was actually waiting for your post before posting winners. Still waiting for @krystle's too. I hope you had a good trip.
I def will always try to always touch base! about 3 x a year international travel dates, those weekend a little touch and go. Im officially in states now just no time to get a quality top 5 up. I am gonna speak to my head producer qrittix and see if on any dates I might miss for judging in future if he can take over off the sound legion account. I am thinking he will love it! He has great experience so if your good with that will def try make that happen. Want to have a reliable thing going on with the SoundLegion judging. big love
Expansive. That's the one word that comes to mind this morning when I think about what the Steemit Open Mic is to us musicians. It is expanding our reach, to a larger audience. Expanding our ability to craft better music, through practice. Expanding our network of friends... I am thoroughly impressed with the expansion I've seen in myself, and all of us, thanks to the Steemit Open Mic.
Here's my post about this song, called "I Bloom," describing story, the lyrics, and the muse: https://steemit.com/openmic/@cabelindsay/steemit-open-mic-week-62-i-bloom-original-song
Incredibly cute. You both sound great!
So kind. Thank you. She's delightful. We're both working on finding our voice, and it feels like we're getting better at that with every Open Mic entry.
Thats great. Can't wait to hear more of this. All the best :)
Aww, that makes me so happy because it embodies the whole reason why I started this thing of ours. It is SO much fun hearing people improve their musical abilities on Open Mic over time. I'm so glad you're part of this and you're enjoying it too. Thanks
Incredible you had the vision to create something so helpful to others. When I think about Steemit and the areas that are working well, and the pioneers responsible for making it and keeping it rockin', I think of you, alongside @stellabelle, @papa-pepper, @acidyo... Thanks so much for all you do.
Wow, that is a generous compliment. Thank you. I love all of those guys and what they contribute to Steemit.
@luzcypher, here's my first one ever. https://steemit.com/openmic/@smith-house/steemit-open-mic-week-62
What a beautiful first entry, wow. Happy you're here. Welcome home!
Thank you
Thank you guys! @cabelindsay and/or @luzcypher or anyone reading, how do I make my video actually appear in the comments when I comment on the openmic post?
How blessed we all are to have talents and a platform to share it and the means to use such a platform! Just think about it...
https://steemit.com/openmic/@thesimpson/steemit-openmic-62-another-day-in-paradise-cover
It is amazing, right? I'm loving your music by the way. Thanks
I'm excited to see what it grows into, since discovering it I have been getting more and more enthuased by the amazing potential this platform has for unrecognised artists. The traditional music industry is dead and who knows what will replace it in the next 10years. Steemit open mic is definitely a welcome project.
You Funhead! :) Oh man, you're cracking me up with another intelligent, funny and well-crafted original. Blues music will never be the same to me, now that I've heard it blasting on ukulele.
Thanks, man! I've really been enjoying your stuff as well.
This song actually made my wife cry... 😁 😆
It comes from real angst, as I haven't regularly played guitar in several years. I haven't felt a need for more than four strings since then, but now that I'm writing songs... we'll see.
Appreciate your support, Cabe!
Amazing as always!! You are such a talented song writer and musician.
Thank you so much @coruscate!
Nice song, I dig your artistry. Another good example of your pristine audio recording too.
Thanks a lot @cabelindsay!
Thanks
Outstanding song and recording!
Hello everbody! here is my first openmic! hope you like it!
https://steemit.com/openmic/@piterman/steemit-open-mic-week-62-folklore-solo
You're drumming is so good! Sound quality is not lol
thanks! haha yes i know :(, the next video I will do it with a better camera
Solid drumming, man, yeah! I'm bouncing here, listening. Enjoying. Reminds me of the rhythm sound in Santana's performance at Woodstock:
thanks man!all the latin music has something in common, that's why it's so cool, you can play it into a rock context or in into a folklore context and it's always make you dance right? haha
Im glad you like it!
the songs I dedicate to the victims of the floods of Aceh, and 50% of the openmic results I will contribute to them. Hope you are entertained

You need to say the words Steemit Open Mic Week 62 at the start of the video. The rules are in this post written 2 times.
Hey. Not sure if mine counts due to being done on Saturday (is there an in limbo period between weeks now? haha) but here it is anyway. Cheers.

Yes, the contest, as always, has run from Sunday to Friday but I will slide you on the cue. The judges have already made most of their picks though
Oh, wait a minute. Is this entered in week 61 or 61?
61 would make it late but 62 would be early. You want to enter it in week 62?
Yeah Passion-Ground told me to enter it into week 62! I made this on Saturday.
That's cool. You're good.
