Welcome to the very first week of the Covid-Sessions. The Covid Sessions will be a weekly open mic competition held by us @theplunge.

How about that sleek design on the poster...? Did it myself!

No that was not the best poster in the world, we are aware hahahaha. Things will still get streamlined as we go. In Afrikaans there is a saying: "Van uitstel, kom afstel". It translates to "From postponing, comes canceling". That is why we are getting things off the ground whilst we are on the money!

Starting off, we don't have a fancy logo, sponsor to the competition or pretty much anything, but... if you work with us we can turn this into something worthy of a HIVE competition.

Let's not waste anymore time. The first week will be open to anything, you can play a cover or original, it can be a group or solo/instrumental or only voice as well, as long as you entertain.

Please note: some weeks will have theme's or rules to get people out of their comfort zone's.

Choosing the winners and giving the prices

How will the winners be chosen? The 5 posts with the most votes will be taken into consideration and then the top 3 of that 5 will be selected by myself and a group of fellow musicians.

Prize's????

First Prize - 3 @steembasicincome shares

Second Prize - 2 @steembasicincome shares
Third Prize - 1 @steembasicincome share

We know it's not massive, but hopefully as we get everything waxed we will be able to improve the rewards as well.

Well .... that's it for this week, lets see if there is any music in the air?
