Should SquaredCircle submit a song for Lemmyvision 3?
I stumbled across !lemmyvision@jlai.lu and thought we might want to submit a song. The pinned thread over there explains everything, but it's pretty much Eurovision, only on Lemmy. The important info is:
- From right now and until May 3rd, discuss with your Lemmy instance or community about which song to send to the contest.
- Submit the song in this community by making a new thread.
- On May 4th, voting will begin. You will rank your favourite songs in a form. Any song not submitted by this date will not be featured.
- On May 11th, results of everyone’s favourite songs will be published.
- You can use !lemmyvision@jlai.lu for any question, this will be the community for updates and results, make sure to subscribe if you’d like to stay in the loop.
Song submission:
- Each Lemmy community is responsible for their own organization.
- Only one (1) song per language per community is to be sent.
- If the song contains vocals then it must be in (one of) the official language(s) of your choice, or a regional language of your choice.
- Songs must have been released after January 1st, 2025.
- Songs must not be international hits[1].
- Submit your songs in their own thread in this community
- Verification will just require a link to the discussion thread created within your community, to ensure it’s a community (not a single person’s) decision.
[1] this is to prevent drama that happened in the past on Reddit, where Germany sent a Rammstein song and obviously won. It’s up to my own appreciation of what international hit means, because it’s hard to measure (metrics on different streaming platforms aren’t the same), but I’m pretty lenient, just ask me if you’re not sure, better to discuss than argue
Voting:
- Voting will be done through a form created on tally.so.
- I will set up the form near the end of the month, and share it in a new announcement post when the time has come.
- If you’re worried about privacy, there will be no questions about personal data, and last year I deleted the form and its results a week after the event was done.
I'm thinking we use this thread for discussion and have another thread for voting, but I'm open to suggestions. Should we do it? Should the song be a wrestler's theme? Can anyone think of a song that could represent us that isn't a wrestler's theme?
