Hello friends ! 💛 💙 💛 💙 💛

I hope I’m not spamming your community, please redirect me if it’s inappropriate.

I’d like to invite you to participate in Lemmyvision, a Eurovision-like Song Contest for Lemmy communities around the world ! I’d love for people across Lemmy to participate, and I hope it will bring people together through our diverse taste of music, so join us if you’d like to discover new music and culture from around the world!

TLDR

  • From right now and until April 1st, discuss with your country’s community on Lemmy about a song that released in your country, to send and share to the Fediverse.
  • On April 1st, voting will begin, where you will rank your favourite songs. Any song not submitted by this date will not be featured.
  • On April 8th, results of everyone’s favourite songs will be published.

There’s a lot of info I posted on this post and the dedicated community on !lemmyvision@jlai.lu, stop by if you have any question, this will be the community for updates and results, make sure to subscribe if you’d like to stay in the loop.

Thanks for your time, hope to see you there! ❤️ 🇺🇦

    Songs released last year would be great, that way you can share something recent so we get a glimpse of the musical scene in Ukraine! I wrote a bunch of rules but they’re not hard no-nos, I can make exceptions as long as everyone is having fun

    • Each Lemmy community is responsible for their own organization.
    • Only one (1) song is to be sent to represent your country.
    • If the song contains vocals then it must be in (one of) the official language(s) of your country, or a regional language in your country.
    • Songs must have been released within the last year (after January 1st, 2023).
    • Songs must not be international hits (I’ll update on how this is evaluated).
    • Verification will probably require a link to the discussion thread created within your community, to ensure it’s a community (not a single person’s) decision.

        I don’t even know if they have an active Lemmy userbase and can’t be bothered to look for them lol, so no, inviting them wasn’t really in my plans

        @Rose @inlandempire
        Russia should be banned from all competitions until they agree to conform to the accepted norms of civilised behaviour. Sport is not politics? Yes it is. It is very political. Hitler used sport to showcase the ‘glories’ of Nazism. Other competitions can be used to gloss over issues, too.

          Exactly. As with Hitler and the Olympics, the 2014 Olympics taking place in Russia empowered Putin to invade Crimea.
