Over the last week Open Mic was contacted and offered some more sponsorship from:

@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, the Peace, Abundance, and Liberty network on Discord, and delegates to many good causes on Steemit. You can vote for him as a wtness here. He just reached out and donated 100 Steem per week to help Open Mic

@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

MSP-Waves Radio in association with the Minnow Support Project and the Peace, Abundance, Liberty Network is a weekly radio program hosted by @Krystle, @swelker101, and @isaria that features the weekly Top 5 judges picks from Steemit Open Mic. Not only do they give weekly prizes to audience picked performers 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.

Special thanks to @verbal-d, @passion-ground, @meno, @soundlegion, @verbal-d, and @krystle for help judging the contest this week. Great job.

Steemit Open Mic is not about winning or losing, it's about building a connections on Steemit through music. Watching the collaborations happen online between musicians who played and met on Steemit 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 Steemit Open Mic than it is to play music on the street.

Top 20 Trending Open Mic Posts

NOTE: Having a trending post is not how judges pick entries for their Top 5 weekly picks. Sometimes you will trend because of a variety of reasons. Congratulations! You don't need to win Open Mic to earn rewards and build your audience. As you can see, sometimes trending posts earn more than the contest rewards! You could trend by getting curated by other curation groups like @curie for example. The judges look for entertainment value which, of course, is very subjective and varies over time. Just keep playing and engaging with the community which is the whole point of Open Mic. If you love music, we love you.

You guys nailed this performance, absolutely beautiful singing, you both sound great and harmonize beautifully, the female vocalist ohh wow, insane guys, lovely work" - @soundlegion You both were wonderfully harmonious and inspiring this week, giving a great performance with chemistry. - @verbal-d 2nd Place You won 40 Steem Steemit Openmic Week 112 Isn T She Lovely Cover --- by @chentebass I’m a huge jazz-fan, plus, I love this Stevie Wonder classic. For me, @chentebass’s rendition was quite simply, show-stopping! - @passion-ground Firstly excellent presentation, secondly holly hell you play those instruments perfectly man - that was just incredible to watch and hear. This song was so relaxed and chill, I couldn't help but get into it - you had me swaying and singing along with you the whole time, not to mention getting the song stuck in my head for a few days. You have some serious talent my friend, I think I am an instant fan here - I just cannot wait to hear what you have for us next time round, this was just phenomenal in every sense of the word. - @krystle 3rd Place You won 26 Steem Steemit Openmic Semana 112 Como Yo Nadie Te Ha Amado Bon Jovi --- by @bettyamv @bettyamv is a fresh new face here at the Open-Mic, and wow, let me tell ya, – she sure did knock it out of the park with this incredible Bon Jovi cover… NICE! - passion-ground The instant I heard this entry I knew it was making my list, in one way or another - just a really stunning performance, I enjoyed it so much I just couldn't stop listening to it. The playing is impeccable, but it was the stunning vocals that caught and held my attention - I really loved the emotion conveyed throughout, not to mention the really pretty tone to your vocals. It was all round a brilliant entry, showing the skill of all involved - I really look forward to hearing more from you all soon. - @krystle 4th Place You won 26 Steem Steemit Openmic #112 / Siempre me quedará / "I will always have" (Cover Song). --- by @wilins " Yeah so I am just in love with @wilins. His vocals grab me deeply, and although I never understand a word he is singing, I feel every bit of it each time. Amazing song, I need an album of this @wilins to chill to, this is vibe" - @soundlegion You continue to pour out raw and riveting emotions and passionate lamentations that affect the heart and soul. - @verbal-d 5th Place You won 26 Steem Steemit Open Mic Semana 112 Im With You Avril Lavigne Cover --- by @isabelmetlige Sweet vocals and a really smooth cover performance. Great song choice, you let it flow effortlessly. - @verbal-d Another really great entry, I had completely forgotten this song - it brought back so many memories and you did a really amazing cover of it. I loved seeing you play and sing together, some people may not realise the skill it takes to do both in unison - not only did you do this perfectly, your vocals were kick ass. I really loved your vocal rendition, just great choices with a few minor adjustments - which I think I actually prefer over the original. All round great entry and I truly hope to see more of you in Open Mic, I really enjoyed your entry - cheers. - @krystle Here's a screenshot of the prizes transferred to the winners this week.
