Thanks to @pfunk who has sponsored Steemit Open Mic since it's inception we can award musicians who submit original music.
In addition to the 200 Steem he donates each week, @pfunk also kicks in another 120 Steem to reward people who submit original songs.
The 120 Steem is divided each week between all those who entered original music.
Since Steemit Open Mic is growing so much it is my task to transfer the funds. Here's a screen shot from week 50 of who got a Steem bonus.
NOTE: Some of these "songs" are not really complete songs but works in progress. I decided to pay them out this time but I can see that some people are really just jamming and calling it a song without really writing a song.
Anytime there is a bonus or reward involved there will be those who try to game the game
All this does is dilute the bonus split between those who really took the time to write a good song.
Going forward we will look for real original songs, not just some chords you slapped together and called it a song.
To those of you really writing original songs for Steemit Open Mic, thank you.
Original Song Bonus For Week 51
Congratulations to everyone who earned an original song bonus!
How To Earn A Bonus On Steemit Open Mic
These bonuses may not last forever but to earn a bonus for an original song entry you need to:
- Play or sing an original song. Not just some chords on a guitar that you call original, but an actual song.
- You need to say the words, "Steemit Open Mic Week - (followed by the current week number) at the start of your video.
- The title of your blog post must begin with "Steemit Open Mic Week - (followed by the current week number)
- The word "Original" must be somewhere in your title.
Here's a perfect example of how to correctly title a post to make it easy for us to find your post, know it is an original, and reward you.
Thank You For Your Support
Thank you for all your continued and enthusiastic support of Steemit Open Mic and congratulations to all the musicians that shared their original music with us.

Hi - I'm a drummer and am debating if I can get involved with your Open Mic program. I have this set in my apartment and could make some drum solos for "original songs"? Otherwise, I'm stuck with covers, which are perfectly fine for me to do. Would this be something that would be ok?
Thanks a lot.

I think any musical performance is valid for open mic. It's mostly guitarists/singers, but I'd love to see more variety of instruments. @heymattsokol plays guitar, but as also entered some drum tunes.

You can enter playing just a kit but it would be a cover.

I didn't get the bonus for week 51...not ok for classical compositions only pop/rock-songwriting? Or was it because it was based somehow on a choral and therefore not original enough?
