2025 Lemmyvision Song Contest
Lemmyvision is an annual song contest held on the forum side of the Fediverse. Regional instances such as ours are asked to send one song in the language of the region to the contest. Once all songs are received, there is a global vote to determine the winner!
Given Canada's multilingual nature, we were allowed to submit songs in English, French, and Indigenous languages separately.
We opened up a nomination thread and received many incredible nominations. After narrowing down the list based on the contest requirements, we had a total of 26 nominations to choose from.
The nominations were as follows. The nominations that were marked as invalid were not released within the time frame of the contest (around or after January 1st, 2024). However, they have been included here for your enjoyment. 😃
