Are you a musician? Singer? Rapper? Karaoke dabbler or GOD? Maybe even a spoken word poet? On its 34th week now, hosted and partially funded tirelessly by @luzcypher for the better part of a year, the Steem Open Mic contest has rewarded many talented musicians and artists. 

But I realize that not everyone on the platform has noticed the contest. It could benefit from more eyeballs, and it would be **greatly enriched** by more participants!

## Want to enter? [Visit the latest contest post, week 34,](https://steemit.com/openmic/@luzcypher/open-mic-week-34-record-your-performance-on-your-phone-enter-and-win-steem-sponsored-by-pfunk-and-luzcypher) to see the expectations for entry and then record yourself doing what you'd like to do!

This can mean your own original song, a cover of a song, or even just a jam. It's open ended, @quinneaker even won first prize for a didgeridoo jam! Be creative and feel free to experiment if you want. All genres welcome.

Way back when, @luzcypher started the Steemian's Open Mic Night contest, with the posts' rewards going to the winners. After seeing the success that @jamtaylor's Steemit Photo Challenge brought to promotion of photography on the platform, I offered to add funding to it [in week 2](https://steemit.com/openmic/@luzcypher/open-mic-night-week-2-record-your-musical-performance-using-just-a-phone-and-win-steem-dollars). Not long after that, I started offering STEEM bonuses to those who recorded their original works. 

Right now, I'm donating 200 STEEM (about $225 worth currently) weekly for the prizes. And I've been giving away at least 100 bonus STEEM weekly, distributed to those who share their original stuff. @luzcypher has generously added 100 STEEM to the pot weekly for as long as I can remember too. **All SBDs earned from this post will go to @luzcypher to use or spend at his discretion.** And the SP earned will be added to the pile that I send STEEM from.
