Open Mike Night Contest Process

Keeping it short and sweet, here is the flow of considerations for the openmic contest:-

  • Need to promote community participation in spirit of openmic night.
  • So.. openmic submissions in comments, community voting and reblogging is encouraged.
  • However, we need to avoid public vote abuse and keep a certain standard for openmic night.
  • So.. community voting as first filter, before internal voting.
  • Another problem: late submissions are usually disadvantaged as they get less attention on the contest post.
  • So.. we've tried to mitigate such a problem by including unique votes of openmic submissions in their own blogposts.
  • Right at time of contest closing, the votes from all performances submissions will be counted and winners posted the following day.

How To Enter Open Mic Night

  • In a well lit quiet room, use your cell phone to record your performance. See recording tips here and here
