Steemit Open Mic is an online, live music venue to give musicians a chance to share their music with the Steemit community and get their music heard. It is growing larger every week thanks to all of you.
I want to thank all the talented people that have made the Open Mic contest such a joy to host. It is a pleasure listening to everyone's music and getting to know you guys. Steemit is SO cool like that.
@pfunk has been sponsoring Steemit Open Mic since I first started it and I want to give a big thank you to him and all the people who support and take part in Steemit Open Mic.

NOTE TO SCAMMERS: I have closed most of the holes scammers have found to cheat the contest except for one. Now people are stealing valid entries from the current week and entering it as their own thinking that because the person in the video says the words Steemit Open Mic Week (current week number) that I will not notice it was already entered. This is the worst form of cheating possible and I have started flagging those caught doing this.
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.

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 78" 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 78 at the start of it.
.
How To Enter Steemit Open Mic Night

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!

Hey there! Is my entry for Steemit OpenMic week 78! :)
https://steemit.com/openmic/@troilo/oyon63yr
Hello my fellow songsmiths!
Here's my entry for this week's Steemit Open Mic week 78.
It's a song about the simple life and being grateful for what we have. Family, children, a roof over our heads and food in our belly. Some are not so fortunate and would absolutely love this 'Simple Life' That I sing of.
Whenever I feel Mental Health issues surfacing from the depths of my unbalanced mind, I grab my guitar, remember this poem I wrote and sing it out loud!
Music is my therapy and I hope it's yours too, because, it is a beautiful thing whether you compose, play or listen.
Cheers @luzcypher for your continued and tireless work!
I think you deserve a holiday very soon my friend!
Thanks for your ongoing support with my music and Steemit journey.
Simple Life
Great Song Darren!, Thanks for sharing. That Happy Simple Life is what we all strive for.
Beautifully played. Nice job!
Sounds beautiful! Great job mate.
Beautiful Guitar arpeggios :)

Hi guys, another beautiful week. This is my original song: Vultures
https://steemit.com/openmic/@chaifm/steemit-openmic-week-78-vultures-original-song
Hey Guys Here is my entry into open mic week 78 With an original song called "Baby Please Don't Cry" Usually you hear songs about how sad you are when someone has broken up with you... but this song is about how the person feels thats actually doing the breaking up because they still care... sometimes it's just as hard breaking up with someone than someone breaking up with you.
https://steemit.com/openmic/@melissakellie/bx9pwd0p
Another beautifully written song Xx
Wow such a great initiative! I appreciate the invitation! Here is my entry. I hope you all enjoy!

Damn great tune man. Did you make the beat as well as the lyrics?
Thanks Shookriya!! No, the beat is an instrumental of a slaughterhouse song, Monsters in my Head, I just heard it and thought it fitted my story perfect!
I can relate to this song. I've also had monsters in my head.
You know man! Its definitely a struggle, hope youve conquered them man!
Yeah. It took years, but I'm getting there. And the funny thing is I'm glad I fought them because now I know what to look out for.
Thats good to hear man, even the worst things that happen us can be blessings in disguise
