  • We will provide 8 different weekly themes

  • Enter the Open Mic Songwriters Challenge

  • Give a high five to @meno

  • Make some great music and you may win a new guitar!

This is the 7th week in this 8-week challenge. If you're just getting here and want to enter don't worry, be happy. You still have a chance to win that guitar. So get your jam on for this week's theme.

The theme for week 7 is:

Right Place and/or Right Time

Open_Mic_Songwriters_Challenge_Win_AGuitar_week_7_right_place_right_t.png

To enter week 6 you need to write a song that is about or involves the phrase Right Place and/or Right Time.

It can be a metaphor or a lyric in the song as long as the song somehow relates to the theme Right Place and/or Right Time

The song must have a theme that includes Right Place and/or Right Time

To qualify as an entry to this week's challenge all the rules listed below must be followed and it must be a new song written for specifically for this challenge.

The first tag of your post must be: openmic

The second tag of your post music be: openmicsongwriters


Recommended tags:

openmic openmicsongwriters music contest guitar

openmic openmicsongwriters music contest guitar


The deadline to submit your entry is Monday. 8th of January 2018. Please have the song posted by then so we have time to review them all.

@meno graciously offered to sponsor this fantastic, music-making, creativity-sparking, songwriting challenge by providing a new guitar with hard case to one, lucky winner!

The contest will run for 8-weeks and each week we will provide a theme. You will write a new song about or related to that theme.

This challenge will require you to write up to 8 new songs, one per week. This is the challenge.

We will provide the theme each week and make it a bit uncommon so songwriters will not be able to pull previously written songs from their repertoire.

They will actually have to write a song based on the theme we provide and have a little less than a week to write each song.

So, are you up for the challenge? A shot to win that guitar?

Keep reading to discover how it works.

Open Mic Songwriters Challenge Rules

Following these rules is very important so your posts can get curated, upvoted, and seen by the Open Mic community.

  • The contest will run for 8 weeks. Each week will have a new theme. Songwriters will write one new song each week using the theme we provide.

  • Songwriters can join at any time, but the sooner you join the more points you'll accumulate, making your chances to win a little better. Don't worry, be happy.

  • Submit Original Music Written For This Challenge Only and related to each week's theme that we'll provide.

  • You can enter Steemit Open Mic and the Open Mic Songwriters Challenge with the same entry. Just say it is for both at the start of your video. Add a link to your post to both contests. Better yet, make 2 posts, one for each contest.

  • No covers, no parodies, or no cover versions will be considered as a valid entry.

  • You can sing in any language but the lyrics must be posted on your post in the language it is sung in plus in English using Google Translate.

  • OpenMic Songwriters Challenge Week 7 must be the start of the title of the post, this is key so that judges can easily find the entries.

  • You must say “OpenMic Songwriters Challenge Week 7” at the beginning of your video so we know you are really playing live for us for this contest (Adding an edit to a prerecorded video just to add the words is not good enough. It must be said out loud by the person performing the song just prior to performing it. Recording the words and editing it to the beginning of a video still does not prove it was really you)

  • Live performances only. No studio recorded tracks. Recording quality is not being judged. You can record it on your phone.

  • openmic & openmicsongwriters must be your first and second tag respectively. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT

  • Add a link to your entry post to the comments of the contest post published by @luzcypher so we know you entered. That's this post.

  • Lyrics must be included in your post If the song is sung in another language, the lyrics must be posted in both English and the language it is sung in.

  • Upvote the Open Mic Songwriters Challenge weekly post posted by @luzcypher

  • Give a high five to @meno because this is SO COOL!

  • All songs must be about the week’s theme, entries not related to the theme will not be considered as valid.

What About The Prizes?

All rules must be followed to qualify for the prize.

Winner of the contest takes home a brand new Grace Harbor Acoustic/Electric Guitar with a hard case. You can have a look and a listen to this beautiful guitar in this video.

Nice one, brotha! Thanks for this quality submission!

Thanks bradda!

Beautiful submission @chaifm! Thank you!

Pretty cool, lady!

Carrie to the rescue! Seriously, @carrieallen doing harmonies helped me out tremendously with this one. And I got it done in time! Woohoo!


And HERE is my post. It's got the lyrics as well.

You keep "killin" it, Austen... thanks, brother!

Thank you! :)

Oh no, I know a song with exactly this line in it. Now I have to erase my memory of this song to come up with something new!

Is this what you're thinkin' bout, Geena? Ha! Cool tune if it is... :-)

I IMMEDIATELY thought of this! LOVE this track and that album....I bought it on vinyl for my munm this christmas

Cool! I'll have to pick up a copy on vinyl for my niece - she got a turn-table this Christmas!

It wasn't but thank you, now I know TWO songs I need to forget! 😒

lol

I definitely thought of this too. Memory erase...

I must admit that I was rather instrumental in fashioning this weeks theme... It wasn't until a few moments after everyone signed off on it that I thought of Dr. John! Ha-haa! It's all good though - everyone is doing a FANTASTIC job in their interpretations!

Nice submission, you two!

Thank you for a quality entry, @vera.carla! Nice!

Pues, acá está.

Espero les guste!!

Hi @Miguelarl, I'm about to listen to your entry... Do you have an official blog post to go with this, my friend? thanks...

Indeed and in fact you already voted and commented on the post, which I appreciate very much because your words always leave us something important. Anyway, here is the link, I just noticed that the one I left above apparently I copied it wrong.

Gran talento amigo... mucha suerte en este concurso.

Hi @jaayy! You've already entered once 9-hours ago. Please don't make things confusing in tagging anyone and making more than one entry. Thank you. And yes, you can delete your two extra and unwarranted comments from this thread. thx, again. :-)

Here's my entry @luzcypher

Hey everyone, here's my entry:

https://mspsteem.com/openmic/@bennettitalia/openmic-songwriters-challenge-week-7-in-the-right-place-by-bennettitalia

So this week I ended up with 2 songs about right place/right time. What's interesting to me about these songs is that they seem to be giving exactly the opposite advice. One says: "go for it!", the other says: "no way!" It's a bit like the cartoons where somebody has a devil on one shoulder, and an angel on the other.

Except I'm not sure which is which 😅

So I'm entering one in the Songwriters' Challenge, and the other in Open Mic. The one featured here is called "In the Right Place". The other, in Open Mic, is called "Tangled". Here is a link: https://steemit.com/openmic/@bennettitalia/open-mic-week-67-tangled-an-original-song-by-bennettitalia

This recording is the first take I did. It's not the tightest rendition, but I liked the rawness of it, so I used it.

Boundless thanks to all those involved in the open mic and songwriters' challenge, I can't thank you guys enough. This is SO much fun!!!

As an aside, if anyone has any opinions on which is the devil and which is the angel, I'd love to hear them!!!

Life has happened and it looks like I won't get the open mic song out 'til tomorrow morning.

nice post. This kind of post will surely motivate musicians like me alot!!

I am very serious about this challenge..I will do it. Thanks

Excellent

Hi everyone! This is my post for week 7! :D

Thank you, @fra182... Good submission, my friend!

Is there anything wrong with my latest video sir @luzcypher? Please Check and suggest me some correction! I beg..

Where is the link to your post/entry? Where are your thoughts as to how this song came about within your creative process? Where is the accompanying music? Where are the lyrics associated with this weeks theme?... Those are just a few of the things that I'd be looking for answers to... Thanks for your entry!

Thank you for that, @rooneey! :-)

No worries....

Cool, man - but you're still going to have to take your quality up several notches in order to garnish any respect on this venue, my friend. Otherwise - you will simply be ignored.

hi guys, finally managed to get the video uploaded
here is my entry
https://steemit.com/openmic/@klynic/open-mic-song-writers-challenge-week-7-by-klynic

Hello @luzcypher, I want to participate in this open mic song writers contest, but this is gonna be my first entry, is that allowed?

Yes! You can enter at any time!

Oh thank you so much, I will definitely participate in the contest since I have prepared the lyric which is associated by this week's theme.. :)

Hi: when do I need this in? I was hoping to have it in already, but the weekend took me out and now struggling through a bit of a cold!

Monday is the deadline, Kay - however, there is typically a 24-hour grace period thru Tuesday. So yeah, you still have time...

Week 8 starts Wednesday... and I usually try and post my top five for the previous week no later than Thursday, which means I'll be making most of my hard-core assessments of performances on Monday, Tuesday, and even take into consideration some stragglers by Wednesday morning if I haven't already compiled my list before then.

Hope that helps... :-)

It does! I was actually able to get it in and am working on the post now. Monday had stuck in my head at some point, so I'm glad I asked - but it's good of you to have a bit of a grace period! :). Happy Monday!

Made it! Here is my entry - a simple exploration of the lasting effects of human anger.

Love to you all.

xx, Kay
