____ ### **IMPORTANT UPDATE AND ANNOUNCEMENT 📢** ____ We appreciate everyone who continuously participate in our Afri-tunes weekly contest to share their African Music and tunes with the Community. We are happy that the community is growing day by day, week by week, month by month and year by year. In order to maintain quality content while sharing our lovely African musical tunes, we wish to remind everyone about the following: - The minimum word count remains 250: however, if you use dual languages then it'll be 500. - Let your writeup contain more of your inspiration behind the song, the choice of the song, what the song means to you or any topic/write-up you wish to share with us. ____ #### **Important ⚠️** We wish to revisit the use of adding lyrics in posts so that it doesn't take 50 - 80% of the post content. On this note, we wish to restate the following: - Adding lyrics is Optional - If you are the original composer of the song, you can add the whole lyrics - If it is a song cover and you copied the lyrics from the Internet, only include the 1st VERSE AND CHORUS in your post. Then cite properly by providing the link to the web page you got the lyrics from. - Kindly note that spamming is a great offence on the hive blockchain and highly frowned at.⚠️ ____ ![Backup_of_hive hive.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/ksam/23wBxmf4mFvKEwA1sdxTsvmTiKRFWD3BUVRW9zFVVhEzaMeGDzJod53cbjgpX4NdNoMxt.png)
