## <center>Open Mic Winners From Week 26</center>  ##

**Thanks to everyone who entered and supported Open Mic Week 26**. Community support for Open Mic has been tremendous and is one of many projects bringing the music community together on Steemit. 

This week has been one of the most difficult weeks for choosing winners because all the entries were so good. You guys are really making it tough so I had to bring in some extra judges to help me choose.

I'm staying at a hostel in Playa Del Carmen and we plugged into the music system at the rooftop poolside bar and the guests helped me pick 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place this week. Thanks everyone for entering and for helping me choose winners this week. I bought them all a round of drinks for helping me decide. 

I just want to remind everyone that votes are only part of the selection process. Entertainment value and performance is factored in too.

The coolest thing about Open Mic is it brings the Steemit community together and that is the whole point of this project. 

Thanks to @pfunk for helping to sponsor Open Mic and he's even generously been giving Steem bonuses to participants posting original music.

Open Mic is not about winning or losing, it's about building a connection on Steemit through music. Watching the collaboration happen online between musicians who played and met on Steemian Open Mic is very rewarding and many of the people who play and post earn some nice rewards for playing a song.

**For many, it's easier to get some Steem in your tip jar by playing for Open Mic than it is to play music on the street.**
