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) 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 43 performances are in and there's still time to vote for your favorites.

So awesome to see so many Steemnias getting in on this action!
I know I'm late but wanted to submit anyways. I don't care about winning just promoting and supporting this great cause!
Here is my Sky Flying Didgeridoo Original!
Cool man! @quinneaker what instrument(s) do you play if any... following you...
reSteemed
Wow !!!
Amazing line up this time. Thank you again @luzcypher for making it happen. As a musician and very new to crypto and stuff, for me open mic is the most exciting thing that is happening right now on steemit. I look forward to it every week and it keeps me in a buzz.
I have been here just over a month and have already met so many talented and awesome people. I wish more and more of my musician friends join in as we go along. I have been trying to promote and propagate by telling them about steem but it is a difficult job to convince them. Will keep trying.
Peace and love !!!
You may try just showing them the trending page for open mic.
https://steemit.com/trending/openmic
That may convince them to give it a try.
agreed! @atulmittal what instrument(s) do you play if any... following you...
Don't forget the Beat Battle League next time.
Namaste :)
What's that?
A challenge for the producers and beatmakers of the Steemit Music community. this is the results for Week One. Enjoy buddy :)

Thanks for hosting this @luzypher as usual.
At first the rules let you enter multiple entries each week, but now it's changed to just one entry per steemian per week, is that right?
I ask because, I'm wondering how I should tag my subsequent performances (ie, I do more than one per week)? Can I use the #openmic tag even if I'm not "officially" entering that post, or does that just cause too much of a headache for the moderators?
I ask because...
• I want to use the openmic tag cos it helps organise a certain kind of live performance and the "music" tag is full of random stuff.
• I don't want to misuse the competition!
Hope that makes sense!
Thanks for this...good question! What instrument(s) do you play if any... following you...
Thanks! I play guitar, here's my latest: https://steemit.com/music/@thebigdelay/the-drunken-sessions-2-in-the-aeroplane-over-the-sea-by-neutral-milk-hotel-cover :)
Not sure I would be able to compete with all this talent but many of these people are gifted in what they do.
There is a lot of talent on Steemit. We're just having fun though. Join us.
Agreed!
That is true!!!
Wow!! Another Hugely successful week!! Open Mic ROCKS!!!!!!
ROCKS!!!!
Thanks for this...agreed! makes it easier to see everything on one post...@luzcypher what instrument(s) do you play if any... following you...
I play guitar.
Nice! Can I ask you a huge personal favour?
Thanks for this I am ready for week 45 commin back with a vengeance!

You're early! Are you going to be announcing the winners sooner than usual this week? @luzcypher
The cut off date was changed to Fridays a few weeks ago. The judges needed more time to go through them all since more entries started entering.
Monday the winners will be announced, same as always.
OK when is the next one?
