Steemit Song Collaboration Project Contest - Post your entries in comments
Steemit Song Collaboration Project Contest
Win 100 Steem!
Entries can be submitted October 1st - October 20th. See details below.
( I have added some days to the open entry time in hopes of getting more qualified entries)
To get ready to do a truly large scale collaboration song I am holding a contest to choose the first song we do. We have decided to do a steemit related song. A steemit theme song. The contest is to accomplish three things. To promote the idea of doing a Steemit Song Collaboration. To choose the first song we do as a collaboration and to find a great song that represents and promotes steemit!
Please see the video below for examples of a collaboration song. The song should be geared towards promoting steemit in a positive way. The actual collaboration will be the next step. If starbucks can do it so can we!
Your entry must be recorded live. The song should be something that many people can participate in. For instance the song by the Beatles "Love is all you need" is a good example. It should not be too complicated and allow for many people to sing the chorus and hopefully in many languages. It should have positive lyrics and feel to it. Songs should be at least two and a half minutes long and not exceed four minutes. ( we will give a bit of leeway here. )
The song must be about steemit. All genres welcome.
The song can be either an original or a cover. However, If you do a cover song you MUST change the lyrics to be about Steemit.
You do not need to be a pro to enter. If you only sing then you can simply sing the song. You can use karaoke for the music even. The winning song will be chosen by what will be the best fit for a steemit collaboration song. Performance will be a MUCH smaller judging factor than it is in other open mic type contests. What will work for a collaboration and be the best steemit song will be most important.
The songs will be Judged by a panel of 5 Judges
To enter
Video record your performance- Youtube or Dtube is fine.
You must say "Steemit Song Collaboration Contest" at the beginning of your video.

You cannot use openmic as your first tag. This will immediately disqualify you!You must post your entry between October 1st and October 20th ( winner to be announced on October 25th) dates extended
Your song must have lyrics and be about Steemit
Lyrics must be posted in the body of your entry post.post your entry in the comments below.
Please share / re-steem this post. Upvotes greatly appreciated and will go towards prize money. I will make up the difference. I already have 100 steem set aside for this. I really can use all the help promoting this as possible. I really hope to not only find a great song for steemit but to make song collaboration a monthly event.

Wow I am really impressed and so happy you all joined. So much happiness. And I was hoping for a reggae entry. You guys all really entered made this worthwhile thank you all so very much! Peace
Yes thanks! I am going to listen again in a moment. I really started to feel the gist last time. But need to give it another listen. Ill be posting all the entries out in the morning. A recap. Then on to collaboration! Where I promises to be more available.
haha my slack. I have like 10 slacks I had to watch for work spread across way to many emails. Then we went to discord and I seemed to overwritten my ecotrain slack pw. I just need to remember which email I used! This weekend ill get all caught up and reorganized.

OMG I love you guys! Perfect song for a collaboration. I'm so glad you entered made my day! You guys would be a hoot to work with. Thanks again and good luck you set the bar high!
Thanks tim, glad to participate. We had a lot of fun performing this one.
Can we submit a second entry? We have at least 1 more song we believe would fit the bill.
yes sure I will add the rule 2 entries allowed.
Sweet. Then you shall have one more ;)
Best regards. The song is only sung or can it be instrumental?
well we're looking for a steem theme song this time around. You're free to try.
Here's our 2nd entry!

love it guys! nice vocals. I love the ending I was hearing on your first song a good place to do a sustained "Steemit" in harmony. But love this great job! A couple other entries coming
soon!
Thanks tim!
Ya there's probably room for improvement in these.
Looking forward to hearing some of the other entries!

That's cool!
Sounds like a great idea. I will think about a song, and see what happens.
We have to video record it huh?
Anyone want to sing my song on camera for me? lol
Whats the tune? I could maybe make some audio but you'd have to use your own video playing the drums or something ;p
Thanks. I can not imagine me playing drums lol. I gave up that dream in the third grade when they gave away the 4 drum sets they had, and I got stuck playing the French horn. I did manage to find a free video program- Amimoto, that I was able to get a link for my video, but you'll have to click the link to see the video, because I couldn't figure out how to do the embedding, and they have it watermarked. If I end up doing more videos, I will invest in a good video program. Here is my final entry... https://steemit.com/sscp/@simgirl/steemed-themed-song.
Excellent @simgirl I will check it out!
I really enjoy that you are beta testing these things for me ;p
Little did you know my mom sends me all the advice you send her @@@@
I am glad! She gives me advice too. It may be yours lol.
That @snook is a crafy one, isnt she!
Will be working on our recording this week!
I'm also thinking of some ideas to help this spread, this is best if there is healthy competition and lots of entries!
Any ideas you have count me in!
great! I need to get this out to more peeps. Im hitting discord today. I had thought about sending a message via my wallets to other musicians... however i'm not very fond of that method. I'm really hoping we get at least 10 good entries but more would be even better!
Are you guys talking about this in Discord or anything?!
yes but can use all the help I can get.
Ill get with you tomorrow! I'm excited. Glad to help in anyway with your idea. Bass / guitar etc
