Because for the 18th edition we have the strong plate, the Christmas party the bagpipes, the drums, the family party all that for the next edition so let's make the difference is noticed.

Announcement:

I has occurred to me to make a video uniting everyone's voice in a great group song, all together singing a song in common all the great singers sing it What they have to do is join the new discord group of SING IT and I personally will take care of square with all the recording to be remote, due to the geographic differences of each, is not great?

Participate in our SING IT LIVE program on Wednesdays each week by discord's REVEUR server at 7:30 pm Venezuela time to discuss large participations, new initiatives, make music together and learn much more.

Ah! And remember that now resteemear this post is obligatory, so they can collaborate with the dissemination of this contest, the partitions are what give life to this initiative.

This contest is made to Steemit's vocal talents created by enthusiastic singers for the entire community.

• Are you a very good singer but you have trouble getting musicians or playing an instrument?
• Do you want to demonstrate your vocal quality to the big Steemit community?

If the answer is "Yes" then this contest is for you!

Prepare a camera (cell phone, webcam, laptop camera, etc.) to record yourself interpreting your favorite artists to impress the judges of our great contest.

Hey! but there are rules!

Like any good contest, there must be an order to perform the procedures with total normality, security and so we can enjoy a lot of good shares, good feedbacks and a good remuneration for it.

So, let's talk about the rules of the contest:

• Record a video on the platform Dtube or on YouTube, I advise to upload it to Dtube for the remunerations of the platafroma and because it is linked with steemit, however they can also upload and link of their video on YouTube, without the use of Dtube is obligatory.

• Give Resteem to this post: this will be the new rule, all contestants must give Reesteem to this promotional post to make your entry valid.

• Say the name of the contest and your user and the user of your guest at the beginning of the video, ie start your video with the following phrase: "This video is for the Sing it contest Steemit Week 14, my user is-...". This will be to know that your participation is recent and so be able to consider it as valid, such as your invitation to another person.

• Your post should start by saying Sing it contest (the song or the name of your interpretation).

• Leave the link of your participation in the comments of this post.

• You must use the #singit #music tags and place the last two tags of your choice.

• The entries of the contest will begin with this promotional post and time to go up the entrance until the day Sunday December 23 at 11:59 pm (EST time). After this time the entry will not be valid.

The contest will have on some particular occasions or weeks a weekly challenge, which will decide what kind of participation will be held (for that particular week), it can be a challenge by musical genre, by artist or by particular song, everything will be indicated in the post of the contest of each week.

* This week the theme is Christmas carols or bonuses.

Awards and aspects to consider:

In order to get the winners, the judges will be based on the following aspects:

• Tuning: Although it is a karaoke contest and karaoke is generally based on fun and not so much on the vocal technique aspect, we want this to be one of the best competitions for SINGERS specifically, then, a good singer must be in tune, right?

• Timing: As in aspect number 1, you have to take into consideration the way in which the singer falls into the song's tempo, then, if a singer knows how to use his resources so that the voice travels through the instrumental, it is a resounding success.

• Performance: This is one of the most important aspects to consider because it does not help that you have an amazing voice but do not have anything of show, your body language should go according to what you sing because as a singer the work is to demonstrate both the voice and the body the theme of the song, what was the composer wanted to tell us there, so we just have to leave everything of us inside our participation.

For the contest awards three prizes will be distributed, that is to say that there will be a total of three winners:

1st place	2nd place	3th place
7 STEEM	5 STEEM	3 STEEM
