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.

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.

Steemit Openmic Week 111 Quiet Glory Original --- by @chaifm
What a pleasant surprise! We haven’t heard from @chaifm for a very long time – then out of nowhere, like magic, she suddenly appears and graces us with her splendid musical work in progress, “Quiet Glory.” Check the post for details on her upcoming (Open-Mic inspired) EP, “Elderflower Sea!” - @passion-ground
What a beautiful little song. I'm so happy to see @chaifm back, it's been a while since I've heard her sweet voice. I'm super happy to know she has not stopped working on her music and is currently working on releasing an EP, if this song is on there, I'm sure it will be fantastic. - @meno
"I had chills through and through with this performance. I am so glad to see @chaifm this week and she is true to form, reaching down deep in your and pulling things out. ooohhh my just beautiful. I am beyond a fan, I was meditated by this incredible sound" - @soundlegion
So glad your glorious music isn't quiet at all. Couldn't fathom an Open Mic community without all of the great originals you blessed us with, and this one is poetically deep and profoundly performed with a reflective and sombre cry. Both you and @Melavie have that talent to produce such melancholic and heartfelt music. Great guitar work to build up the momentum and suspense as well. Thank you for sharing this gem, looking forward to more in the future. - @verbal-d
You really have a captivating voice and feel when you perform, you feel the music and words and present them to a listener in a brilliant way - I loved this song and this entry, I hope to see more from you soon. - @krystle
