Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.
Victor Hugo
It is very important to say the words "Steemit Open Mic Week 57" at the beginning of your recorded video and as the first words of your post title. Posts without that at the beginning of the title are hard to find in the feed and we may miss your post. Posts without those words spoken in the beginning of your live, recorded video do not qualify for prizes.
If your song is an original song by you it is very important you put the word "original" in the title and "originalmusic" as the second tag of your post
Here is an example of a correctly titled post.
These requirements make it easier for judges and curators to find your posts and reward you for original songs. Ignoring these requirements only hurt your chances of earning rewards.

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 57" AT THE BEGINNING OF YOUR VIDEO We're looking for real live performances for this contest. Some people have posted old videos from YouTube and it's difficult to verify that it's really them performing. In the future 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 57 at the start of it.
You can sing acapella if you don't play an instrument or sing to a recording if you want and still enter Open Mic.
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!
Thank you for the positive support from the Steemit community and special thanks to @kevinwong for his guidance, encouragement and support and @verbal-d for writing a song that inspired the idea and @pfunk for helping and supporting Open Mic.
Please contact @luzcypher in SteemitChat for any further questions you may have and you can post your entry there too. https://steemit.chat/channel/openmic

Ah, what fun! Just loving your vibe. So good of you to offer an English translation for us, so I can validate what I already feel in your song: A soulful, heart-filled expression of joy and peace. É disso que a vida é sobre, meus irmaos.

Hello everyone...here's mine for this week. Peace to all
https://steemit.com/openmic/@onetruebrother/steemit-openmic-week-57-original-song-make-some-love
Sounding good man! Nice chords.. its got a bit of Bon Jovi's Wanted Dead or Alive vibe.
Yeah, I agree. Plus maybe a bit of “Love the One Your With” by Stephen Stills–at least in the chorus lines.
Celebrating my birthday today with a song that strums my heartstrings: “Fountain of Life.” This is another one inspired by the Standing Rock movement. It's my eighth time participating in the Open Mic, and I'm grateful for our host and each of you here. Happy for this day.
