The Steem Fest season is on. We are officially three months away from the biggest Steem Blockchain event of the year.
Besides, people need to plan ahead and what better way to help them do so than by starting the contest season this early?.
This contest, in particular, the @blocktrades + @openmic ticket giveaway contest is mainly for artists and members of the @openmic community but this doesn´t mean only members of the community can join. This is a contest open for everybody and you don't have to be a musicians to win a ticket to SteemFest and the accomodation in the @blocktrades sponsored apartment in Krakow.
I'll say it again, you don't have to be a music artist to win this ticket.
If you don´t know what Steem Fest is, check out everything about it in @roelandp´s official announcement here, you can also have a look at the offical web page.
General info
A SteemFest ticket is one of the most amazing prizes someone from the Steemit community can win and @blocktrades and @openmic will do their best to make it as inclusive as possible and also striving to reward quality and commitment towards the Steemit and the Open mic community.
There will be two steps for this contest. The first step is right here, the second one will be announced once the first step is completed and only the winners of the first step will be able to join in the second step.
The Contest
Record yourself on your cell phone
Tell us about yourself. The real person behind the Steemit username. After all, if you win, we´ll be meeting in person in less than 3 months.
Your story on Steemit. When did you join, why, how etc. How do you engage with the community, what do you do on a daily basis on Steemit or any of the other DApps.
Why do you want to attend SteemFest and what can you add to the community by attending.
And the most important part... This is an @openmic contest, so get on the mic and tell us the direction you would like to see Steemit move towards. The idea is to record yourself telling your fellow Steemians what you want Steem to become and how you think you can help that reality come true.
Once you made your recording, upload it to DTube, YouTube, or Vimeo then post it on your blog. Add any other pics or storyline you would like to include on your blog.
We'll pick the best responses and announce the winner.

The Judges
This is an Open Mic related contest so the @openmic judging team will be the ones deciding who gets to join the second step of the contest.
I want to thank @luzcypher and the @openmic team for joining efforts to a lucky winner going to Steem Fest representing the @openmic community.
- The Steemit Open Mic judges reserve the right to forfeit submissions that are misleading.
This is SO exciting and on behalf of the Open Mic community would like to thank @anomadsoul and @blocktrades for their generous support!
After talking with the judges and @anomadsoul, we think it may be better to open this contest up to the larger Steem community so that even people who are not musicians could participate and have a chance to win a ticket. What do you guys think? Would love to hear your thoughts.

I am already in Poland so participating feels a little like cheating :-)
Actually I am pretty bad with a mic and that's probably the real reason for my my evasive talk. Nevertheless I'll be keeping an eye out for some great entries that I know would be made.
I also might be going to Krakow in September and do some reviews for places that would be good to stay at for the steemfest. If you guys need any help in that area - give me a shout !

I love this so much! There are so many amazingly talented musicians on this platform and I was really hoping they would be well represented this year at steemfest. Combining the opportunity with the openmic community is just a perfect fit. Cant wait to see the entries! Awesome idea.

@anomadsoul, Wow, this is awesome initiative by the Blocktrades for sure and in my opinion whoever is attending the SteemFest for sure will going to get an effective opportunity and what best surprise one want.
And yes, Music is an great addition in any event and it's great that in this contest musicians will going to get an effective chance and let's hope that some amazing musicians will going to make the SteemFest more musical.
And literally speaking Steemit Economy holds so many different contests and all these contests gives one or more opportunities and these opportunities are really productive and also these Contest Economy increase the Engagement Levels.
So let's hope that this SteemFest will going to be one of the best and let's hope that after the SteemFest we can hear about the more amazing projects and initiatives for the Steem Economy.
Wishing you an great day and stay blessed. 🙂

Lovely idea buddy - as a music community driver for electronic music and DJ I am not an #openmic guy I fear but might consider a contribution. If I win I will donate to someone wanting to go there! I personally will not be able to go I am afraid.

Another great contest, Eric. It's great to tie it together with open mic, which has been the most wonderful contests on Steem. Great idea to have some talented musician at SF3 for sure.
For me I'll pass this one myself and looking forward to see the following ones.
Thanks for all the efforts along the way.
I featured this post on my news show in Chinese today, with the explanation of the rules, hopefully it can reach more Chinese Steemians as well!

This is so nice, @anomadsoul. I don't understand very well what the price is exactly about as I can barely infer that it's related to a musical-tripping experience. Anyways it motivates me to participate in the way as I, in a sense, want to finally grab in my hands that feeling of being part of... I know I am, and something tells me it should be an even bigger like sense of integrating. I actually am going to start to write my post and gon record my video this weekend when I get confortable and so ready. Thanks again for giving so much of you, and I'll contact you to make the translation to spanish if anyone has already done it.
