Prizes

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 61" 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 61" 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 61 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

Steemit Artist Music Compilation Volume 3 Singer Songwriter Submit Your Original Track --- by @soundlegion
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.

We would like to thank you all for your spirited participation in making this a big part of the Steemit music community!
Hello Everyone hope that you all are well! Peace
https://steemit.com/openmic/@onetruebrother/steemit-openmic-week-61-original-song-broken-mirror
Really cool song!! And those last words made me giggle ^^
Right on! Good choice on take 500 lol, that was a hip tune/performance. Writing flowed.
wow!
Nice warmth to the overall sound here. Smooth, from your voice to the guitar groove. Really impressive you captured such a high quality recording, and so funny you noted this was "Take 500"! LOL. Yeah, man, I made a lot of takes this round too, for the #songwritingchallenge. I admire your dedication, and the end result of all your efforts is solid, brother!
A wise friend told me: "A mistake is just a missed-take. So take two." And then take three... and take 500! :)
Thanks to all of you for the kind words !
Very cool song, bro.
Hello I just want to join again to this contest I hope it will be qualified :)
Here is my original beatbox music.

Nice performance. I heard you on the radio show too. That was a good one.
Oh sweet, thanks @luzcypher!
This is absurdly excellent. Probably the best song I've ever heard on Open Mic for the lyrics, tone and composition. Awesome.
I suppose that it's fairly effortless for you to play, but the only unsolicited suggestion I have is to be a little more dynamic with your body language to keep the intensity up as a front man. Your song really hits home and is very relatable.
Thanks a lot man! Very kind words! Following you buddy!
Possibly just cried a bit...
I really think this is a big hit. Just waiting to be able to work with you. Inspiring stuff
Awh really? Thank you, Lucy.
wow beautiful.
Thanks!
Man, whatever you're doing to the voice recording is stellar! It's like you're singing inside a spinning blizzard, with snowflakes carrying your voice and swirling up echoes. Sounds lush. Very pretty. Yeah, I can see this song hitting the radio, if not the stadium stage. Superb.
Wow, thank you so much @cabelindsay! Very kind words! Yes, I added some heavy "church" style reverb to this one. A little experiment. Glad you enjoyed it!
Yeah, I guess "angelic" could be another way to describe that effect. Sweet, dude. I love it.
OOOOO ... Lovely ... The space makes it sound so different ... way to go @stanhopeofficial
Thank you @afrao0!
Hi guys
This is my entry. Hopefully you will enjoy this guitar performance.
https://steemit.com/openmic/@donatello/steemit-open-mic-week-61-guitar-improvisation.
A big thank you to @luzcypher and @pfunk for supporting musicians with this online music event.
Thanks for performing
Beautiful, once again. I love seeing the passion in your guitar play, through your facial gestures. The tenderness in your eyes reflects through your fingers on the fretboard. I'm upvoting, thoroughly impressed.
Thank you for the best comment I have received so far.
beautiful.
Hopping back over to the piano this week! Here is my cover of Dock of the Bay. Thanks to taking the time to listen! ❤️

I just noticed the official invitation to the #openmic songwriting challenge this afternoon, and thankfully got the kids to bed in time to create this new song, “Broken Mirror.” Here's the story: https://steemit.com/openmic/@cabelindsay/steemit-open-mic-week-61-open-mic-songwriters-week-1-broken-mirror-original-song.
FYI, The extra voice you hear in the chorus lines is my wife and partner in life, @wildfamily.so sweet.
I loved this performance
Thank you so much! Such a joy singing with my partner. Gotta wrangle her into some more of these vids.
