Im a huge fan of all the talent contests and the other day while watching a clip of the best of Americas Got Talent I was wondering to myself what kind of hidden talents we have here on Steemit. So geez I thought why not find out?!!!!

Now I know we have some great singers and musicians from openmic by my good friend @luzcypher. This contest is open to all talents! Would it be cheesy for me to call it Steemits Got Talent? 😂

I could literally watch people perform talents all day! So I cant wait to receive your entries. Im expecting this contest to start off a little slow until word gets around. For this first week the prize for winning will be just 30SBD. This will increase over the weeks depending on entries and sponsorship. What I really love about openmic is that all the entries wether they win or not get an opportunity to get their music out there and also earn rewards from the upvotes, which sometimes amount to more than the winners prize money! Isn't that awesome! It's what I love so much about this community! I'd like to offer the same opportunity with this Steemit Talent Contest for a more broader range of talents.

Ive always been obsessed with talent contests so lets get the ball rolling!!!! Whatever your talent may be singing, dancing, lip-synching, acting, drumming, martial arts, playing an instrument, contortionistism you name it.... all you have to do to enter is follow these very simple rules:

  1. TAKE A VIDEO OF YOURSELF PERFORMING YOUR TALENT. Before the start of your video you must state "Steemit Talent Contest Week 1 and (your steemit name and the title of your performance)" for your entry to be considered original, current and accepted.

2)POST THIS VIDEO ON YOUR BLOG using the FIRST TAG gottalent This is so I can find your post easily for judging.

3.. LINK YOUR POST IN THE COMMENTS TO THIS VIDEO

4.. YOU MUST UPVOTE THIS POST

tarde pero seguro gracias @donnaincancun por darnos oportunidad a los latinos por aquí te dejo mi entrada

Thanks so much @donnaincancun. I've really been furious and expectant of another contest since the openmic created by @lucypher ended days ago which I was unable to participate due to because am a newbix and found at the openmic contest late. Am so glad that this idea came up. I love singing and hope to impress you during and at the end of this contest. Thanks. More grease to your elbow. #gottalent.

The songwriter contest ends this week but the ongoing Open Mic contest is still going and in it's 68th week. Come join us. Now you'll have 2 contests you can enter!

Wow. That's great I will do as soon as possible. Thanks @luzcypher

I cant wait to receive your entry. This will be a weekly contest just like openmic. So dont worry if you missed the deadline last week at openmic you can always enter this week or next. Hey with singing you can enter both contests! 😉

I added a link to your post in the Open Mic post to help promote your contest. This should be fun!

Good stuff. Ill add a link to your latest contest in my posts too 😉

Thanks @donnaincancun I will also. Watch out. 😎

This sounds like a lot of fun. I'll help you promote it. Upvoted and resteemed.

Thanks mate! Appreciate the support.

Yaaaaay.. Im so happy.. More singing that is.. And I have friends that can dance and do spoken word poetries

That sounds awesome!!! Well get them to send in an entry by Friday! Singing, dancing and poetry! Sound like a lot of fun!

Ohh God, gotta get my groove on!

Excellent! I cant wait to see what you got! Don't forget to give us a re-steem. Contests are way more fun with lots of entries! 😉

this must be fun haha

Wow!
Wow!
Wow!
Thanks very much @donnaincancun for this innovation... Honestly, you and @luzcypher just make steemit home and even more fun. I'm so gonna send in my entry with the speed of light.
Thanks much again!

😂 I love your enthusiasm!!! This is what steemit is all about! Great community and lots of fun!

Talent!!! Got love in playing chess game and singing.... Here I come with my entry

Im not sure playing chess is a talent... singing sure 😉

May be one day I will be brave enough to participate. :D

Until then have fun watching those who do!

Am already in for this

A great contest! Resteemed Donna!

Hey Yuky! Well lets hope it takes off!

Hi watch open mic week 68.

I always do!!! Good friends with @luzcypher. We both live in Cancun, Mexico (hopefully the location of Steemfest3!)

However if you would like to enter both you need to send separate entries.

Ooh fun! I love this idea for a contest. I’ll just have to think about what to do... :)

Is a dtube video acceptable for the contest? I know luczypher has trouble viewing dtube videos... so just thought I would ask first!

Of course!!! Dtube is the new and improved YouTube to all Steemians! Ill let you know if I have any viewing problems.

I understand the problem with Dtube now is the tag order. Dtube automatically put Dtube as the first tag and to enter #openmic you need to use openmic as the first tag. @luzcypher is working on a way to fix this. For now I will accept Dtube entries with #gottalent as the second tag and hopefully in the future I can find a workaround too. 😉

great initiative!!! I'm sure this is going to kick some major butt!! I'll resteem this too...

Literally just thought last night: we should have a reality-TV sort of competition on Steemit. Awesome :). Can't wait to enter. xx, Kay

Thanks for this opportunity. Here is my entry

I love your voice!!!!!!

Thanks so much😊

this wow!! will be glad to contest

Looking forward to your entry. Re-steem please so all your friends know about it too!

I believe that you will be very successful. :)

A very ambitious and brilliant post! Look forward to seeing how this contest unfolds.

Wow I can't believe all this wonderful stuff is on steemit......I think I should do a Hip-Hop contest.....Called 16 barz Contest....Who thinks that would be a good idea as well....Like film yourself rapping over any beat of your choice for 16 bars and see who can come up with the best 16

Sounds fun!! 😉

Wow,resteemit done..Waiting your next post..

Yeeeeeeow. Excellent :)

Hey there @donnaincancun, I've recorded the entry video for this contest but I forgot to mention my steemit username, everything else was said except that one thing. It took me two hours to record that video and I hope you will accept it :) I will post the video by today. Thank you :)

Don't worry its accepted 😉

You have a hug talent

Thanks mateee

Awesome!

Wow, another one! I'll be participating soon!

Get you entry in by friday to participate in this weeks. Im not expecting lots of entries in the first couple weeks so its all up for grabs! 😉

que bien otra oportunidad para que las personas expresen dones!!! gracias @donnaincancun por esto que haces... pronto estaré subiendo mi entrada cantando, espero que seas un jurado fuerte y exigente!!!! saludos y bendiciones

may this post I translate into the Indonesian language?

Of course! Im hoping in a couple months this contest will be translated into many languages!

This entry is late however I will accept it for this week.

Entries are now officially closed! Winner will be announced on Monday!

I look forward to seeing and hearing all the talent. I play the music for my 1 year old daughter and she dances to the music. Such a great way to hear new voices and spend time with the family. Another way people can benefit from Steemit!

Oh my goodness how cute! I would love to see children participate too. I might have to make change to the rules that kids can enter on their parents Steemit accounts. I didn't really think about that before. I feel an edit is on the horizon.
