All genres of music can be apart of the Steemit Music League Challenge. Anything from heavy metal, rap, hip-hop, soul, gospel, country, electronic, basically anything you can think of music related and it's a go.
All you have to do is submit an original entry based off of the universal theme of the week using the tag #smlchallenge and/or comment the entry on any SML Challenge posts.
This first week's universal them is:
Happiness.
So all you have to do is create a musical entry based off of this them of happiness. Whatever resonates most with you or whatever track makes you feel this way.
The options are endless so let's see your creativity Steemians.
The entries will be judged off of the following:
- Sound Quality,
- Technicality,
- Creativity, and
- Relevance to universal theme
The prize pool is as follows:
FIRST PLACE WINNER: 20 SBD + 20 Points
SECOND PLACE WINNER: 10 SBD + 12 Points
THIRD PLACE WINNER: 6 SBD + 6 Points
FOURTH PLACE WINNER: 4 SBD + 4 Points
COMMUNITY FAVORITE: 10 SBD and 10 Points.
The Community Favorite each week will be determined by the amount of comments responding to their entries and upvotes on their submission comment.
The Steemit Music League Challenge is part of the Steemit Music League (SML) which incorporates the following contests, leagues, and challenges:
The Steemit Music League will have a leaderboard that is fed by the points earned by Steemians in each particular contest, challenge, or league.
Points earned can be redeemed at the end of each month for the cryptocurrency POINTS if they choose to. If they choose to redeem their points for POINTS then their leaderboard score is reset to zero and then can begin the climb back to the top.
So if you are confident in your skills, you will be able to redeem additional cryptocurrency monthly and then still have a chance to build your way back to the final challenge and the trip the Las Vegas.
The top three of this leaderboard at the end of the first seasons of the Steemit Music League (December 31, 2017) will be part of a live music challenge.
The winner will get a 7-day paid (lodging at the Palms Place and travel) to Las Vegas.
That's right the winner of the Steemit Music League will get a vacation courtesy of us to Las Vegas.
What better way to celebrate your championship than in Vegas.
Good luck everyone and thank you to the Steemians so far who put their mind, body, and soul into their entries. We really appreciate all you do.
