CATEGORY - Music Contests

Let's dive in and explore some of the awesome Music contests featured on Hive. These contests allow musicians (and users) the chance to show off their musical talents, or just their favourite music! Creating a versatile and exciting music scene for all Hive to enjoy, and hopefully catch the attention of web2 users with top-quality content! If there's any we've missed, drop a comment below and share them with us! Let's explore some of the biggest music contests on Hive!

OVERVIEW

From Hive Open Mic to the weekly Hive musician of the week contests from multiple communities, featuring everything from the Hive festival to Three Tune Tuesday. There's a reason for everyone to get posting on Hive and create a name for themselves. We've already explored some of these communities more deeply, but today we're going to have a quick round-up of contests held by the music communities on Hive.

Hive Open Mic

Perhaps the biggest weekly event, Hive's Open Mic (Hive account@hiveopenmic) is a chance for everyone to share their music delights. This week's open-mic theme is 'Never give up'. To find out more about the open mic event check HERE. Not only do Open Mic offer the chance to share your themed music with their weekly post, but they're also supported by OCD curation, so a bumper chance to shine!

Music Community Curation

The Music Community (featured in Hive encyclopedia #3) have a weekly curation post highlighting the best of this weeks content. Again supported by OCD, the Hive account@music-community give an extra incentive for users to use the #music tag and music community. Check the latest curation and find out how you can support Musicians on Hive HERE.

Afri-Tunes Artist of the Week

We're going to cover more about the Hive account@afri-tunes community in an upcoming post, for now, here's your chance at another 'Music Artist of the Week' this time supported by the Afri-Tunes community. Currently in their 67th week of this initiative, highlighting some of the best 'Afri-Tunes' on Hive. If your music fits into this niche get involved and share your content with hundreds of users, and who knows you might just be the next Afri-Tunes artist of the week! More info here.

Finally, a Music contest for all the music fans, but not music creators. Much like Sloth, if he was to try to enter these 'singing' contests, he'd have Hive closed down by the end of the week!

Three Tune Tuesday

Three Tune Tuesday is a chance for everyone to share their favourite three tunes of the week. This contest created by Hive account@ablaze gives 'normal' Hive music fans the chance to share their music greats. Whether you choose a style or an artist to cover, all you have to do is share 3 songs and write a little about them! A great chance to show off your favourites and find some other 'new' music! Check out the latest TTT post here.

SUMMARY

There are many awesome events that take place weekly on Hive, giving all creators the chance to shine! Not only do we have these weekly contests, but musicians are also able to upload their music to projects such as @Risingstar to feature in-game or Hive account@cryptoradiofm to be played via the 24/7 crypto radio station embracing web3. Or simply upload via Hive account@blocktunes to have your content shared with the masses with relative ease! Hive opens many doors for musicians and music lovers alike! With curations from several of the above communities and Hive account@stickupmusic (Hive account@stickupboys) and @OCD there's never been a better time to get involved! The time has come to utilise the power of web3 for music lovers around the world!
