The day has come to announce the start of the biggest WEB3 music competition in crypto powered by Hive. Vibes was created as the "spiritual successor" to one of the most successful music projects in crypto that ran for many years.
We are in contact with a number of the old judges and hope to see their return.
What is VIBES? 🎵
Vibes is a web3 music competition with weekly prizes with the goal of reinvigorating the music community on the Hive blockchain and offering a place for all musicians to gather.
Every week a cash prize will be distributed to competitors and the community voters. Over time our hope is that everyone in the crypto music community will find entering the weekly competition as sort of a weekly ritual. The social focus of the Hive blockchain allows for this perfectly.
Who are we looking for? 👓
Anyone and everyone! Do you play an instrument? Can you sing to a background track? Are you in a band? Do you do covers only or original music? Maybe parody songs are your cup of tea. Did your grandma sing you to sleep when you were a child?
We want her here too!
Anyone that can film themselves playing music with their phone/camera is eligible.
Recording on a mic and editing audio afterwards is permitted as well.
Prizes: 💸
1st: 800 USD and the soon to be coveted Vibes weekly trophy!
2nd: 400 USD
3rd: 200 USD
4th-6th place: 100 USD
- ADDITIONAL: Potentially thousands of dollars worth of Hive upvotes!
All payouts will happen in native stablecoin HBD (1:1 USD) that can be traded on internal market for Hive. Hive is listed on major exchanges like Binance.
Weekly rewards are subject to change over time.
How does it work (Musicians)? 🎼
Its very simple. You will upload a video to X (Twitter) audibly saying:
"Vibes Web3 music competition week 1"
and then make beautiful music. You can record yourself on your phone. You will write a few words and add the hashtags #Hive #Vibes in your tweet and copy the link to that tweet. You will then paste the link into a post on hivevibes.co with the title of your song, week of participation, and a few words about yourself and the song itself. That is it!

EXAMPLE POST ON VIBES:
It needs to be noted that all performances need to be recorded specifically for this competition. No using of old videos.
Also to note that the more effort you put in when writing about your submission in the submission post the higher the chance of receiving Hive upvotes 👍🤑.
PLEASE READ THE RULES SECTION on the Hivevibes.co website before submission.

How does it work (Community)? 👨👨👦👦
ON HOLD
When does it all start? 📅
Our launch date is set for 19th February (Monday) but it can be subject to change considering we require a certain number of participants to commence the competition.
Once this article is live you can already start submitting your entries and they will be counted for week 1 regardless of any date shift.
For following competition weeks we will have another update post but if there is enough interest you can expect Vibes to run week after week once everything is set in motion. This first month is a sort of "pilot month" after which it will be determined if there is enough interest for this to continue indefinitely. The question being: Is this something musicians want to exist?
Please follow this link https://forms.gle/ZUqCy3GXui9DoGLe6 to a GOOGLE FORM where you will submit your Twitter (X) account name. We will then send you codes for a number of free Hive accounts for yourself and your community that you need to access Vibes, so please keep your DMs open.
How to setup your Hive account? 🔑
- Input the code we sent you here and choose your account name: https://join.hive.io/
(Your account name is your wallet address on Hive. Unlike on other chains where its a string of 42+ characters) - You will receive a text document with your passwords. Save the document in a safe place.
- Go to /trending/hive-140169 and login using posting key and your chosen account name.

For the time being all updates will be provided by competition founders 
So make sure to drop a follow.
Disclaimer: As with anything there is a failure scenario to consider. We reserve the right to cancel the competition at any moment if this fails to attract a respectable number of new users to Hive. We will do our best not to allow that to happen but we would also like your help as musicians, if you want this to exist, continue and grow, to help spread the word.
