Open Mic Songwriters Challenge

Thanks to some generous sponsorship from @meno we are hosting the Open Mic Songwriters Challenge and the winner will win a free guitar with hard case.

  • Do you like to write songs?

  • Can you write a song a week for 8 weeks?

  • 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 8th 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 8 is:

Till We Meet Again

Open_Mic_Songwriters_Challenge_Win_AGuitar_week_8_Till_We_Meet_Again.png

To enter week 8 you need to write a song that is about or involves the phrase Till We Meet Again.

It can be a metaphor or a lyric in the song as long as the song somehow relates to the theme Till We Meet Again

The song must have a theme that includes Till We Meet Again.

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. 15th 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 8 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 8” 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!

  • New Rule For Entering Steemit Open Mic And The Open Mic Songwriters Challenge --- by @luzcypher

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

The theme is Till We Meet Again

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.

Till we meet again

Here we go again!! :)

Woo Hoo! Been loving the music this has brought out of you man.

:D
Thank you very much! It's been really inspiring having a reason to write a song each week and having a deadline and mostly knowing that there are at least 30 people around the world in the exact same boat! and then listening to many of the entries and seeing everyone's interpretation of the weekly themes! It's awesome to me the different points of view.

I'm so happy I joined, you have no idea!!! :)

and here we come again 😂

Indeed!

Hi everyone! Here is my entry for this week:

I'm exhausted so I'll keep this short: thank you thank you thank you! :D

I'm so grateful to everyone involved in putting this together and to everyone participating. I checked out all of the entries last week and my mind was definitely blown because, as you all know, you're amazing! This is so much fun to be a part of, thanks to the creativity and inspiration of both participants and organizers. So. Much.

Oh uh, I can feel my tear ducts itching! There's some serious feelz coming on..... or maybe not? Let's see!

hello luzcypher, I'm rapper and I'd like to know if with my style of music, I can participate in the open mic and open mic songwriters challenge, it's worth noting that I write my lyrics to participate, I like the contest but I do not know if you give me the opportunity to participate. I would like you to make an open mic for us big boys. Thank you for your time. I'm waiting for your answer :D .

uso clues because I do not have dj or someone with an organ I fight for my dream I hope you support me

Thank you to @luzcypher and @meno for facilitating the single most meaningful event of my Steemit experience so far. Here's the story behind my eighth entry: Adios To The Blues. Hugs and high-fives to all of us!

Un gran saludo @luzcypher, que emocionante ha sido esperar la frase para empezar a escribir el tema, el día miércoles estuve impaciente y al enterarme de lo que se trataba y realicé mi composición a pesar que estoy un poco afectado por una virosis, pero no podia dejar de participar en esta última semana #8, y aqui esta mi entrada:https://steemit.com/openmic/@oscarcede/openmic-songwriters-challenge-week-8-necio-orgullo-cancion-original-por-oscarcede

follow your intents... "get your Duck on a role and you will break the back of the beast"!! all the best !!

Well this should be a good finale..

Because of steemit open mic I found myself with a little talent in music and because of this community I managed how to publish a song in less than a week.

Oye, estaba impaciente esperando, para empezar a escribir, " hasta que nos volvamos a ver", muy interesante una canción que haga referencia a esta frase, bueno, papel, el lápiz y la guitarra, saludos @luzcypher
