Steemotion Contest! - Songs of Sadness

in #mspwaves7 years ago (edited)

The format for Emotion Integration is changing! I've decided to split the 2-hour live radio stream into two segments. The first hour will pretty much be business as usual - I'll present topics from Dynamic Emotional Integration® for learning and discussion.

In the second hour, I'd like to focus on bringing the creative work of fellow steemians to the show to share. Being that my show is about emotions, that will be the focus of the creative content I'm looking for. The best way I thought to make this happen is by offering a contest!

Steemotion is the cool name that @ma1neevent gave me during the last show. Thanks ma1ne!

Here's how it will work:

  • Each time I run the contest I will provide a topic around emotions, empathy, etc.
  • The call for submissions will have a deadline, and prizes will be offered.
  • If you submit a piece, you agree to let me share it (with links to your original post) during the show.
  • I will announce winners during the show, and award prizes then or soon after.
  • Winners will be judged not only on quality, but also on how well they represent the topic.

What to submit:

  • Original work (by you) expressing the topic
  • Creative work of any form will be accepted (audio, visual, literary, etc.)

How to submit:

  • Post your piece on your blog, with a link back to this contest
  • Post a link to your blogpost in the comments of this post.
  • Limit to 3 entries per person.

So, without further ado, the topic for this first round is...

~ SADNESS ~

In DEI, Sadness is the emotion that helps us let go of things. It arises to let us know that something isn't working, and it gently urges us to move on and let our tears wash that something out of our lives. Sadness is the emotion that flows and helps keep us from being overwhelmed. If you really let yourself feel into the emotion of Sadness, you will find its beauty to be gentle, wise, and healing.

PRIZES

I want to keep this sustainable and hope to offer this contest for every show, so I'm keeping the prizes modest for this first round, but hopefully I can increase them as time goes on.

**** Update: Thank you to @aggroed who donated 20 SBD to the prize pool, so I've upped some of the prizes!

1st Place - 5 (now 15)SBD

2nd Place - 3 (now 10)SBD

Any additional choices I share on the show - 1 SBD

Haha, well, it's a good place to be sometimes, or so says a certain song I just read the lyrics to... Thank you for entering the contest!

Hello, this is my entry for the Steemotion contest.

It's an original song by me called Without You

https://steemit.com/mspwaves/@laviq/without-you-a-song-about-distance

Thank you for your entry!

I was unexpectedly surprised yesterday to find out that I came 2nd at this contest!!!!!! It's a great motivation to keep trying for more quality creations, regarding that I don't remember when it was the last time when I won in a contest or had my music appreciated. Thank you very much and keep up the good work!

Thank you! You actually came in at 1 1/2 place! I had commented on your post, but my internet wasn't working the other day, and apparently a lot of the comments I made never actually went through. Anyhow. I'll post a recording soon if you want to listen, but yours was my top pick of the bunch, although there were a few others who I felt were too close of a second, so I rearranged the winnings a bit to better reflect that. Anyhow, yes! A lot of folks really liked your piece, and I know @soundwavesphoton def wants to work with you on collabs. So keep up the good work, yourself!

Must the song be self compose

It has to be a song you have written, yes. Either lyrics or music, or both. A collaboration with someone else is acceptable and the prize would be split between you. (They have to agree!)

@uniwisp how many entries or work/ blogpost can we submit?

Hmm..I hadn't thought about that. Good question! I think this round, I'll say 3 entries is the limit. I might change that going forward.

Wishing all contestants the best. May the best win!

and if I feel a tad bit of sadness hit me, I'd be sure to join the contest.

Thanks ronyxoxo! Maybe next time!
