I just want to take a moment to thank @pfunk for his generous and continued support for Steemian's Open Mic Contest. Last week he made a post about Open Mic to help get the word out to his followers and generously donated all the SBD from that post to me to do what I see fit with it.
@pfunk also has been donating 200 Steem every week since Open Mic's early inception and also kicking in some extra Steem to users who post original music on Open Mic. He's not even entering the contest but I think he supports it because he loves music and thinks this contest is good for the Steemit community. That's why I'm a big fan of @pfunk.
Thank you so much @pfunk and thank you to everyone who has contributed and supported Open Mic in any way. The community support is what makes it so much fun and keeps it a special part of Steemit.

How Should These Funds Be Used?
Now I want to ask you guys a question. A couple days ago @pfunk transferred some Steem Dollars in addition to the usual Steem he donates to Steemit Open Mic. Here's a screenshot.
He said I can use it at my discretion and I want to ask you, the Steemit community, what WE should do with it.
Should we:
Increase the Open Mic prize money until the funds are spent?
Use the funds to advertise to musicians online or in a musicians magazine to attract new users to Steemit?
I have a better idea. (explain your idea in the comments below)
Please take the time to suggest how you think these funds should be used in the comments below. Thanks and again, thank you all for your continued, enthusiastic support of Steemit Open Mic.
