Our first week’s announcement of the Bad Karaoke Contest has stirred much support, excitement, and curiosity, but not many entries. **Because of the low number of entries, we are extending the contest another week.** If you did link your entry to the original or reminder post, please link them again to this week’s post to be entered.

**We are finding many people love to sing and would enter the karaoke contests, but they do not like to be on camera, or will not place themselves on camera; which is a requirement for the contest. [Bad Karaoke Contest!!!! Win SBD!!](https://steemit.com/contest/@simgirlandsnook/bad-karaoke-contest-win-sbd)** **We have decided that since @simgirl has the same opinion of being on camera, we are going to change the rules a little bit to better include the camera-shy bad karaoke singers!!! We would like to invite you to use this contest to fuel your creativity as well as your love for karaoke.** **We will now accept any video, of any kind. You don’t have to show your face or your body. You can use alternative accounts, or disguise your voice if needed, but the voice must at least be the person entering the contest. We must at least require that!! You don’t even have to make a post, just pop the video in the comments!!** **So, if you are completely comfortable in front of the camera like @snook, or if you would rather hide like @simgirl, we will accept your entry if you show us your Bad Karaoke skills.** Always sing safely, and don’t hurt yourself.
