Steemit Music League Challenge Season Two | Round One

Season Two of the Steemit Music League begins o weeeeeeeeeee.

Building off of an epic first season of the Beat Battle League and Steemit Music League Challenge, we are so excited to kick off Season Two with the 1st Round of the Steemit Music League Challenge.

The Steemit Music League Challenge is an open music contest for rappers, MCs, singers, vocalists, and producers. Basically if you have a passion for music you can submit an entry every week.

Each week's theme change with the prize pool consisting of STEEM, Voiceshares, and other cryptocurrencies such as SMOKE.

Currently, the Steemit Music League Challenge and the Beat Battle League are the two contests in the Steemit Music League with the Get-A-Record Contest coming soon from @seveaux.

The winner of the Steemit Music League is determined by the amount of points earned through League contests and challenges.

Season One's winner, @beatseb (who is joining us as a judge in Season Two), won a round-trip flight to San Diego, California for his efforts of winning the Steemit Music League through his epic creations in the #smlchallenge and Beat Battle League

This Season Two's final prizes have yet to be determined so would love to hear the community's feedback on what the final prize should be.

Without further adieu here are the details of the Steemit Music League Challenge Season Two Round One:

This week's theme is:

Spiritual Enlightenment

Spiritual enlightenment is a life long endeavor of obtaining knowledge and raising vibrations.

What better way to help the community obtain knowledge and raise their vibrations then by creating soul lifting, spiritually enlightening music.

Totally up to the vocalists, producers, and musicians of this awesome community.

The power of 432 HZ can be applied to help raise vibrations.

Vocalists and rappers can create enlightening, knowledge-laced entries.

Producers can create that uplifting, vibrations raising music so many options open to you.

Here is some content for inspiration:

All you have to do is submit an original entry based off of the theme of the week using the tag #smlchallenge and/or comment the entry on any SML Challenge posts.

Any type of music passion from singing to producing and everything in between is welcome. We are looking forward to be able to help these Steemians in the music community shine and receive the recognition and feedback they deserve.

The team of @chiefmappster, @danyelk, @beatseb, and @derekmiller are pumped to see what is in store for this week.

Don't forget it helps the judges and the community for you to make a post about your entry, with how you created it, the meaning behind it, how the theme came into play.

It is just another way for us Steemians to get to know you and your message.

The Steemit Music League is a community built by the community for the community with the goal of providing the most feedback, recognition, and rewards and possible all while bringing Steemians together.

As a result the Steemit Music Alliance Discord channel was born.

You can connect with other community members, play music live, get feedback from community members, get beats and tracks demoed, and listen to entries with others live via the SMA Discord bots.

Live DJing courtesy of @seveaux available now and live jam sessions by @beatseb are so epic.
