This year's submissions period has ended. Check out all the great performance with the Official 2016 DEAD COVERS PROJECT playlist.
Whether you play just like Jerry or like to give the Grateful Dead's beloved classics a unique spin, the 2016 Dead Covers Project wants you! We're calling all musicians - near and far - to share your love for the music and magic of the Dead through video. Show off your musical chops and you just might find yourself front and center on Dead.net during the month of February! The rules are simple - all video submissions must contain a song either written by or recorded by the Dead. How that song is interpreted, however, is entirely up to you.
Upload your video to YouTube, tag it "DeadCoversProject," and we'll make it available to view on the band's official YouTube channel, www.youtube.com/gratefuldead. Can't carry a tune? Join the fun by "liking" your favorites on YouTube.

You're right man. My bad. It's a project and it's a great project. Perhaps the term "leader board" is throwing some of us off. And it does feel like there is a reward or "prize" a.k.a. getting posted on the home page. I will take your advice and just enjoy.
Thanks for giving me another perspective.

Contest?
Folks - I don't see anywhere on the Dead Covers Project page that this is a contest. If it is a contest, please let me know...cuz if it is, I'm not sure I even want to enter.
From what I can tell, this is a project for fans of the dead to share some music, art, and love. Why does everything have to be so competitive these days?
Just enjoy the music and be happy you're alive to experience it! (Or not, sorry I don't mean to tell y'all what to do.)
Let there be songs to fill the air!

Like it or not
I know this has been brought up before. But, it's hard to understand how a popularity contest based on likes has anything to do with the integrity of the music. We could ask all our Facebook friends to like a video whether they actually listen to it or not. Grandma, neighbors, coworkers, etc, we are stepping outside of an audience that knows anything about the dead.
Sorry, just an old deadhead's grumblings—breathe. Miss you Jerry!

There are some Karaoke covers of Dead tunes. Mostly Truckin and Casey Jones. If you dig hard you can find Big River, some traditional blues. The Mars Hotel Out takes has about the best Scarlett B Karaoke/instrumental version I've heard!
How about a sub category for next years Cover Project to include a Karaoke award? Sorry singers, take the backup position. Let's build up a home made Karaoke library!!!
