Hey! Did you know? There's a weekly Steem Open Mic contest!

Are you a musician? Singer? Rapper? Karaoke dabbler or GOD? Maybe even a spoken word poet? On its 34th week now, hosted and partially funded tirelessly by @luzcypher for the better part of a year, the Steem Open Mic contest has rewarded many talented musicians and artists.

But I realize that not everyone on the platform has noticed the contest. It could benefit from more eyeballs, and it would be greatly enriched by more participants!

Want to enter? Visit the latest contest post, week 34, to see the expectations for entry and then record yourself doing what you'd like to do!

This can mean your own original song, a cover of a song, or even just a jam. It's open ended, @quinneaker even won first prize for a didgeridoo jam! Be creative and feel free to experiment if you want. All genres welcome.

Way back when, @luzcypher started the Steemian's Open Mic Night contest, with the posts' rewards going to the winners. After seeing the success that @jamtaylor's Steemit Photo Challenge brought to promotion of photography on the platform, I offered to add funding to it in week 2. Not long after that, I started offering STEEM bonuses to those who recorded their original works.

Right now, I'm donating 200 STEEM (about $225 worth currently) weekly for the prizes. And I've been giving away at least 100 bonus STEEM weekly, distributed to those who share their original stuff. @luzcypher has generously added 100 STEEM to the pot weekly for as long as I can remember too. All SBDs earned from this post will go to @luzcypher to use or spend at his discretion. And the SP earned will be added to the pile that I send STEEM from.

Very cool of you @pfunk to help promote Open Mic as well as sponsor it for so long. People really seem to be having fun with it.

Here is what some people have said about Open Mic.

It's great to post in Open Mic again, it was one of the reasons I joined and stayed here on steemit. - @kuttmargo

I had no idea that the Open Mic Contest had even been created and had discovered it in the second week of its progress when @luzcypher had graciously reached out to me and invited me to join in. I was pretty excited since I hadn't had the opportunity to do open mics as of lately being so busy but now I had my chance to showcase more of my music on this wonderful platform as opposed to just posting up videos on Youtube, sharing them on Facebook, and not getting much feedback. - @verbal-d

oh man i love open mic so glad to be back over here listening to the fresh stuff, every entry was fantastic this week, loved the painted black sounded like a plane was about to crash at the very end in the back ground had me crackin up! @tfeldman that was a great performance and also @ik666 with the looper very cool. The green sleeves on the classic guitar was beautiful and I absolutely loved that pure vocal acoustic rendition of one of my favorite 4 non blondes songs. ! great line up - @soundlegion

So come on over and have some fun playing and singing music on Steemit.
And @pfunk you have been so awesome with your continued, enthusiastic support and as far as your generosity expressed in your post here:

All SBDs earned from this post will go to @luzcypher to use or spend at his discretion.

I will use it to pay it forward and increase the rewards to the Open Mic contest. Thank you.Upvoted, Resteemed, Tweeted, added to forums and added to the Open Mic contest post.

JUST IN: I started an Open Mic contest on Steemit and its in its 34 week. This week 4 time platinum recording artist Paul Carter, aka, @thisisbenbrick played a song for Open Mic. Awesome.
