Hallo Freunde!

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 one song to send from each DACH country, 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 [email protected], 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! ❤ 🇩🇪 🇦🇹 🇨🇭 🇧🇪

    Would programming.dev be able to participate or is it mostly oriented around countries/country instances

    E.g. entering with songs from games (which usually span multiple countries for the production of them and aren’t represented in these types of comps)

      I think that’s a fair exception to make ! You guys are welcome to participate, and represent people who want to submit video game songs !

      The only requirement I would add is that the submitted song must either be from the game soundtrack, or not be also a popular song, (either specifically composed for the video game, or be a cover, for example : “Can’t Be Stopped” from Wiz Khalifa is fine because it was specifically made for the Mortal Kombat 10 trailer, “Paint It, Black” from Rolling Stones featured in the Black Ops III trailer not so much because it’s barely even edited, songs from Low Roar that appear in Death Stranding are a no go, but the Ludvig Forssell soundtrack is welcome!)

        Alright. Yeah I assume it would mostly be indie game soundtracks which tend to not exist outside of games

        Will get that set up in our events community once I’m off work

        Are vocals required and does it have to be from the past year? edit: read the info post and saw that yeah past year and yes to vocals due to language requirement

          Sounds good! For vocals I’m thinking it’s rather if the song has vocals then communities should try to have them in a local language, for games soundtracks I think it’s fine there’s just instrumentals, indie games don’t always have the budget to hire a singer
