<div class="pull-left"><center><img src="https://i.imgsafe.org/35/35febc0050.png"/><a href="https://steemit.com/@ausbitbank">@ausbitbank</a></center></div>

@ausbitbank is a top 20 witness on Steemit involved in more supporting projects on the Steem blockchain than I can list. He is a big part of the [minnowsupportproject.org](http://minnowsupportproject.org/), the Peace, Abundance, and Liberty network on Discord, and [delegates to many good causes on Steemit](https://steemit.com/witness/@ausbitbank/ausbitbank-witness-update-new-full-rpc-node-minnow-support-project-application). You can vote for him as a wtness [here](https://steemit.com/~witnesses). He just reached out and donated 100 Steem per week to help Open Mic

https://i.imgsafe.org/43/43ea19e02b.png

@Curie helps curate new people who contribute good content and has been supporting Open Mic musicians behind the scenes since Open Mic started. They helped me and countless others get our posts seen when we first started on the platform. Many Open Mic musicians have been featured on their weekly Author's Showcase posts. They are a top 20 witness and have contributed 25 Steem per week for the next two months to help Open Mic. You can vote for them as witness [here](https://steemit.com/~witnesses)


<div class="pull-left"><center><img src="https://i.imgsafe.org/e0/e027d53d05.png"/><a href="https://steemit.com/music/@isaria/4nfzq6-isaria-s-weekly-music-curation-minnow-support-project-community-curation-check-out-these-5-awesome-musicians"><br></br>Steemit Musicians with Krystle, Shane, and Isaria</a></center></div>



***@steemcreative is a witness run by @swelker101 and @isaria and they host a weekly program with @krystle at MSP-Waves radio that features the weekly Top 5 judges picks from Steemit Open Mic.** Not only do [they give weekly prizes to audience picked performers](https://steemit.com/music/@isaria/tirvf-isaria-s-weekly-music-curation-minnow-support-project-community-curation-check-out-these-5-awesome-musicians) from the contest, but they have also started sponsoring Open Mic with a 25 Steem weekly donation! How cool is that? Thank you for helping support musicians on the Steemit platform.*

# <center>Steemit Open Mic Week 148 </center> #





*Steemit Open Mic* is growing so fast and a lot of people are entering without [really reading the rules](https://steemit.com/openmic/@luzcypher/what-are-the-rules-to-enter-steemit-open-mic-and-why-do-we-have-rules-anyways) so I want to do a little house cleaning for those entering the contest.

The bigger this grows the easier it is to miss someone's entry post so following these rules makes us see you have entered so we can upvote you.

For more on the rules read, [What Are The Rules To Enter Steemit Open Mic And Why Do We Have Rules Anyways?](https://steemit.com/openmic/@luzcypher/what-are-the-rules-to-enter-steemit-open-mic-and-why-do-we-have-rules-anyways)

**Steemit Open Mic** is a live music contest and we need to know that you are really playing or singing us a song for this contest in particular. That's why to qualify for prizes you must say "Steemit Open Mic Week" (*next week number*) and your username at the beginning of your video just before you play or sing the song. If you don't or if you edit in later onto a prerecorded performance you will not qualify for prizes.

If your song is an original song then you MUST put the word "original" in your title. Original songs get a small bonus right now and it is easier to find all the original songs with the word added in the title.

The next thing that is very important it to begin your title with "Steemit Open Mic Week (the current week number)" and place that as the first words of your title or I may not be able to find your post at all.

Here is a perfect example of a correctly titled post to enter Steemit Open Mic for an original song.

<center>[![steemit open mic post titled correctly.png](https://s13.postimg.org/ellx4aguv/steemit_open_mic_post_titled_correctly.png)](https://postimg.org/image/x16e1ouz7/)</center>

This would be a perfectly titled post for a cover song entering the contest.

<center>[![properly titled post for a cover song on Steeit .png](https://s11.postimg.org/xvr8n9i5v/properly_titled_post_for_a_cover_song_on_Steeit.png)](https://postimg.org/image/gv8cel54f/)</center>

Theses posts are really easy to find in the feed and upvote them. They can easily be spotted so none of them get missed.


**NOTE:** *The order this chart lists the performances has no bearing on choosing the finalists. Just because a video is at the top doesn't mean they will win the contest. They are posted in the order that they were entered.*
