****There's a new contest in town! Do you have what it takes? Welcome to the very first week of Steemit Talent!
Im a huge fan of all the talent contests and the other day while watching a clip of the best of Americas Got Talent I was wondering to myself what kind of hidden talents we have here on Steemit. So geez I thought why not find out?!!!!
Now I know we have some great singers and musicians from openmic by my good friend @luzcypher. This contest is open to all talents! Would it be cheesy for me to call it Steemits Got Talent? 😂
I could literally watch people perform talents all day! So I cant wait to receive your entries. Im expecting this contest to start off a little slow until word gets around. For this first week the prize for winning will be just 30SBD. This will increase over the weeks depending on entries and sponsorship. What I really love about openmic is that all the entries wether they win or not get an opportunity to get their music out there and also earn rewards from the upvotes, which sometimes amount to more than the winners prize money! Isn't that awesome! It's what I love so much about this community! I'd like to offer the same opportunity with this Steemit Talent Contest for a more broader range of talents.
Ive always been obsessed with talent contests so lets get the ball rolling!!!! Whatever your talent may be singing, dancing, lip-synching, acting, drumming, martial arts, playing an instrument, contortionistism you name it.... all you have to do to enter is follow these very simple rules:
- TAKE A VIDEO OF YOURSELF PERFORMING YOUR TALENT. Before the start of your video you must state "Steemit Talent Contest Week 1 and (your steemit name and the title of your performance)" for your entry to be considered original, current and accepted.
2)POST THIS VIDEO ON YOUR BLOG using the FIRST TAG gottalent This is so I can find your post easily for judging.
3.. LINK YOUR POST IN THE COMMENTS TO THIS VIDEO
4.. YOU MUST UPVOTE THIS POST
ALL ENTRIES MUST BE IN BY FRIDAY 19TH. JUDGING WILL COMMENCE IN 7 DAYS ( Saturday 20th January)NEXT WEEKS CONTEST WILL START ON SUNDAY 21ST.
I CANT WAIT TO RECEIVE YOUR ENTRIES!!! I just love the idea of being the Simon Cowell of Steemit!! Haha (all images from google)
PLEASE RE-STEEM SO THAT THE WORD GETS AROUND!
STEEM-ON my friends!
Rules of entry edited **

Thanks so much @donnaincancun. I've really been furious and expectant of another contest since the openmic created by @lucypher ended days ago which I was unable to participate due to because am a newbix and found at the openmic contest late. Am so glad that this idea came up. I love singing and hope to impress you during and at the end of this contest. Thanks. More grease to your elbow. #gottalent.
The songwriter contest ends this week but the ongoing Open Mic contest is still going and in it's 68th week. Come join us. Now you'll have 2 contests you can enter!
Wow. That's great I will do as soon as possible. Thanks @luzcypher
I cant wait to receive your entry. This will be a weekly contest just like openmic. So dont worry if you missed the deadline last week at openmic you can always enter this week or next. Hey with singing you can enter both contests! 😉
I added a link to your post in the Open Mic post to help promote your contest. This should be fun!
Good stuff. Ill add a link to your latest contest in my posts too 😉
Thanks @donnaincancun I will also. Watch out. 😎
This sounds like a lot of fun. I'll help you promote it. Upvoted and resteemed.

Hi watch open mic week 68.
I always do!!! Good friends with @luzcypher. We both live in Cancun, Mexico (hopefully the location of Steemfest3!)
However if you would like to enter both you need to send separate entries.
Ooh fun! I love this idea for a contest. I’ll just have to think about what to do... :)
Is a dtube video acceptable for the contest? I know luczypher has trouble viewing dtube videos... so just thought I would ask first!
Of course!!! Dtube is the new and improved YouTube to all Steemians! Ill let you know if I have any viewing problems.
I understand the problem with Dtube now is the tag order. Dtube automatically put Dtube as the first tag and to enter #openmic you need to use openmic as the first tag. @luzcypher is working on a way to fix this. For now I will accept Dtube entries with #gottalent as the second tag and hopefully in the future I can find a workaround too. 😉
great initiative!!! I'm sure this is going to kick some major butt!! I'll resteem this too...
Literally just thought last night: we should have a reality-TV sort of competition on Steemit. Awesome :). Can't wait to enter. xx, Kay
Thanks for this opportunity. Here is my entry
I love your voice!!!!!!
Thanks so much😊
I look forward to seeing and hearing all the talent. I play the music for my 1 year old daughter and she dances to the music. Such a great way to hear new voices and spend time with the family. Another way people can benefit from Steemit!
Oh my goodness how cute! I would love to see children participate too. I might have to make change to the rules that kids can enter on their parents Steemit accounts. I didn't really think about that before. I feel an edit is on the horizon.
I believe that you will be very successful. :)

A very ambitious and brilliant post! Look forward to seeing how this contest unfolds.
Yeeeeeeow. Excellent :)
Hey there @donnaincancun, I've recorded the entry video for this contest but I forgot to mention my steemit username, everything else was said except that one thing. It took me two hours to record that video and I hope you will accept it :) I will post the video by today. Thank you :)
Don't worry its accepted 😉

Wow I can't believe all this wonderful stuff is on steemit......I think I should do a Hip-Hop contest.....Called 16 barz Contest....Who thinks that would be a good idea as well....Like film yourself rapping over any beat of your choice for 16 bars and see who can come up with the best 16
Sounds fun!! 😉
