Help Send Steemit Open Mic To Steemfest 2 --- by @luzcypher
Announcement Steemit Open Mic Official Judges Panel --- by @luzcypher
Steemit Open Mic is growing so fast that a lot of people are entering without really reading the rules so I want to do a little house cleaning for those entering the contest.
The bigger this grows the easier it is to miss someone's entry post so following these rules makes us see you have entered so we can upvote you.
For more on the rules read, What Are The Rules To Enter Steemit Open Mic And Why Do We Have Rules Anyways?
Steemit Open Mic is a live music contest and we need to know that you are really playing or singing us a song for this contest in particular. That's why to qualify for prizes you must say "Steemit Open Mic" (next week number) at the beginning of your video just before you play or sing the song. If you don't or if you edit in later onto a prerecorded performance you will not qualify for prizes.
If your song is an original song then you MUST put the word "original" in your title. Original songs get a small bonus right now and it is easier to find all the original songs with the word added in the title.
The next thing that is very important it to begin your title with "Steemit Open Mic Week (the current week number)" and place that as the first words of your title or I may not be able to find your post at all.
Here is a perfect example of a correctly titled post to enter Steemit Open Mic for an original song.
This would be a perfectly titled post for a cover song entering the contest.
Theses posts are really easy to find in the feed and upvote them. They can easily be spotted so none of them get missed.
Also, @andybets from steemreports.com is working on a chart that is targeting those keywords to sort all entries by originals and covers.
It is SO cool and you can check it out with this sneak peak of the Steemit Open Mic Chart
NOTE: The order this chart lists the performances has no bearing on choosing the finalists. Just because a video is at the top doesn't mean they will win the contest.
Steemit Open Mic Week 51 performances are in and there's still time to vote for your favorites.
Great songs and performances this week. Have a listen to them below and be sure to show your support and upvote your favorites.

SteemON!
Hi @luzypher, thanks for finding my post and providing link to rules. It looks like i posted smack dab in the middle of the weekend so i'm not sure i qualify for #51 -- also, i recorded song 3 weeks ago so the video info is off (re: week # is incorrect).
Don't worry, i won't be an ass and repost -- i'm just happy i'm figuring out how to do this.
Thanks for setting up this tag -- it rules! I started and hosted an Open Mic here in Vancouver and ran with it for 80-90 weeks. We began Dec 2nd, 2008, a Tuesday, and it still runs every week at Corduroy (right here in Kitsilano).
I had many people play on the stage, and when i saw Carly Ray Jepson singing at the Grammy's in (i think it was 2011 or '12) i fondly remembered the little girl from Mapleridge who got up on our little stage -- with a big dreadnaught -- and blew everyone away!
Good times!
I look forward to singing and playing and watching more of all the great songs i've seen so far.
Thanks again!
Cheers! from @thedamus
