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 100" 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 100 at the start of it.

.

New Music Category Communities

Music Category communities are coming together on Steemit and if you're a music lover, please show support and join in the fun. Here are a few new places to find great music.

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!

Your song won my laziness and I decided to comment it. lol Very good song really, I'm glad that I can talk to original singers, I'm really a crazy music lover. You sang remember me Ben Howard, I like to listen to some his song, especially ''Oats In The Water''. Thanks for the song. ☺♪♫

Thanks for taking the time to comment on my song! I'm not sure what you mea t about the Ben Howard song though?

Your song makes me remember him, that is it. And I shared the song that I like, you may be interested or you may know that song, that's it. lol

Ah! I understand what youn mean now!

Hi, please take a listen to my entry to the Openmic 100 contest

I love the beat. Your voice. It's really great. So different, but also quite mainstream friendly.

Perfect groove. I love the high parts too.

P.S. You need a LINK to your post (not just the video) to be entered. HURRY!

Wish I had more VP... I love it @carrieallen; The presentation, the lyrics, truth... what's not to love? :-) <3

Oh! Thank you so much!
I'm always worried... Cause you know... Free Speech. 😉

This is actually my first song and my 'coming out' pro-America, if you will. So the first time I've spoken out about how I feel about all this.
It's a scary place right now... but I think we'll eventually get through it (and come out on the good side). 😍

Big love for coming over and performing for us all Carrie! You got RHYTHM lady!!
It was a fun little song!
