FediVision Announcements

The Fedivision song contest is ON!

What is Fedivision? We are a light-hearted musical competition among amateur musicians on the Fediverse. You can submit one original unreleased piece < 4 minutes long in any genre. In May 2024, we will listen to all the entries and the fediverse votes on the best song!

Now in its fourth year, we have a brand new dedicated instance. Please follow this account to be kept informed. PLEASE BOOST this post so that all your musician friends get the word.

Submissions for #Fedivision2024 are CLOSED! Thank you to the more than 70 musicians who have fielded an entry this year.

Take a breather! The Fedivision elves will spend the next week reviewing the entries for eligibility, building the streaming site, getting the voting bot cranked up. Then voting by you, the public, will start in one week, on Sunday 19 May!

Here are the four-letter codes of all entrants! (machine-readable in alt text)

These are your factions (fictional countries you represent), not your artist or user name. Ask me if you’ve forgotten your faction, lol.

Three hours to go! Submissions will be turned off at 13.00 UTC _sharp_ because that's 11 pm in my time zone and I'll be tired and grumpy from staying up hoping to see the Aurora Australis and seeing nothing. Get your entry in with plenty of time because you don't want the inevitable Wordpress crash to be your undoing! #Fedivision #Fedivision2024

#Fedivision2024 Administrivia: Please keep your download links active until 19 May 2024; there are a lot of entries and it takes time to download them all! #Fedivision

#Fedivision2024 Administrivia: We’ve started to download submissions from the links you gave. A few links are not working. We will message you if there is a problem. Please PLEASE make sure you can receive DMs from this account. It would be horrible if your submission couldn’t be included because we couldn’t download it. #Fedivision

#Fedivision2024 Administrivia: People are asking where they can upload their entries. These are acceptable (list not exhaustive):
• Dropbox share link (trick: change the dl=0 to dl=1)
• Ditto OneDrive, iCloud, Google Drive
• Ditto etc etc your favourite sharing service
• Prerelease share link to private track on Bandcamp
• Ditto Soundcloud
• On your NAS if you know how to port forward

Some of these can, at best, pop up a web page with a Download button. That’s OK. We will cope! 😌

#Fedivision Administrivia: If you need to discuss anything with the organizers or add something that you couldn’t say on the form or you’ve got any questions at all, send us a DM here. If you block DMs from non-followers, best to follow this account so you don’t miss messages from us.

#Fedivision Administrivia: if you make a mistake submitting the form at fedivision.party, or have to update the link, just resubmit it with the corrected or updated details. We’ll delete the old entry from the submission database, leaving only the new entry. #Fedivision2024

This year, we are pleased to announce that Radio Free Fedi @radiofreefedi will be offering a pop-up channel during voting week, where you can listen to Fedivision 2024 entries on repeat.

Entrants, you will be asked at submission time if you’d like your song shared with RFF. This is _opt in_; we know you don’t all love RFF. The Fedivision site at https://fedivision.party/ continues to host all entries and listeners can stream on demand from there.
