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 Open Mic Week 92 The Earth Has Cracked Again Original Song Mdj --- by @moderndayjester
With passion, the intensity is sure to follow. With genius, there are no bounds. Combine these three elements musically, and you will find yourself at the doorstep of @moderndayjester! “The Earth has Cracked Again” is a stunningly beautiful composition. Our resident jester-man sets the tone and rhythm perfectly and never misses a beat. The box in the beat simply adds to the overall appeal of this rather intense masterpiece. The world just wouldn’t be the same without the likes of @moderndayjester! - @passion-ground
"ooo I just get chills all over me when this Jester gets behind them keys. Pure fire and wind in the pouring rain the earth has cracked again." - @soundlegion
A talented pianist with a unique set of skills, The modern day jester is no stranger to the #openmic community. I've been waiting to listen to an original song of this level of emotion from him and this week, it happened. I'm happy to see him on the top of not only my list. -@meno
*So glad you decided to hang around and continue sharing music with us. I love hearing you play and sing and this performance is special. It's also one of the few times that all the judges unanimously selected someone in their top spot in the same week. Congratulations and look forward to hearing more from you. - @luzcypher
2nd Place
You won 40 Steem and a 5-Pack of Steem Monster cards.
Steemit Openmic Week 92 //🌜Moonlight sonata/⚡ACDC Thunderstruck// --- by @silentscreamer
"absolutely amazing! @pechichemena and @silentscreamer have a serious sound here. This was explosive guys and incredible team work, talents bursting. " - @soundlegion
Oh gosh... @silentscreamer is at it again, and this time she is attempting to outrock everyone, with a violin mind you. Honestly, I know she's probably worked countless hours on her skills, on honing in that perfect intonation, and I'm not trying to take away her credit for doing so. But, It's like they say out there - "If you make it look easy, that means you are good" - @meno
AC/DC on violin! How friggin' cool is that!? - @luzcypher
3rd Place
You won 26 Steem and a 5-Pack of Steem Monster cards.
Steemit Openmic Week 92 On My Mind Original --- by @drewsmusic
What can I say – Drew is just a stand-up guy who just so happens to be a rather incredible musician! His composition and vocal skills are to die for! “On My Mind” is yet another testament to Drew’s immense charismatic musical appeal. He closes his post by telling us not to take one single second for granted. Wiser words have never been spoken! I trust that we all will take such sage advice to heart, and in the process, that each of us will never take @drewsmusic for granted either - @passion-ground
I think 20 seconds into the song I was already sold. Drew's vocals are honestly some of the best on the community. Not only because of the technical aspects of it, the vocal control and pitch, but the emotion he managed to convey with his soothing style. - @meno
4th Place
You won 26 Steem and a 5-Pack of Steem Monster cards.
Steemit Open Mic 92- Original- Too High (The Story of Us) --- by @elainefaye
This was completely unexpected. The vocals just soared over the track like nobody's business. (say this with a NY accent). It almost feels like this song belongs to a different time, a time when soul vocals dominated the scene, a better time if you ask me.
I would love to hear this song produced, with all the backup vocals and such. The group performance gave me a great idea of how the final production would sound like. Amazing work, just amazing. - @meno
*This performance passed the goosebumps test for sure. Loved it and look forward to more. - @luzcypher

5th Place
You won 26 Steem and a 5-Pack of Steem Monster cards.
Steemit Openmic Semana 92 Necesaria Original --- by @joseacabrerav
" I am just in love with this guy! Jose baby you are wild my friend really love your swag and your passion is ooozing thick. I would love a first hand collaboration with you and your lot, so much fire that end. Great piece yet again" - @soundlegion
Listening to Jose reminds me of conversations I've had a few times with my dear friend @krystle. You just run out of adjectives, how many times can you say brilliant until you've out-used the word. Well, I guess I'm about to out-use it, because that's precisely what this performance was.
Side note, its hard not to smile when I listen to Jose, he seems to always be happy to perform, as if that's the only place he can let all of himself come out. - @meno
Here's a screenshot of the prizes transferred to the winners this week.
Congratulation Everyone And Thanks For Playing Steemit Open Mic. Winners can collect their Steem Monster Cards at SteemMonsters.com#
