Honestly, this is one thing I haven't had a chance to try yet.

Hei venner!

I hope this post does not break the rules, last year I ran Lemmyvision a song contest on Lemmy, and I'm excited to announce that the second edition is now live! You're invited to participate by sending a song in Norwegian, or a regional language / dialect from any part of Norway!

For those not in the loop, here's how it works:

TL;DR

• From right now and until April 1st, discuss with your country’s community on Lemmy about which song to send to the contest.
• Submit the song in this community by makign a new thread.
• On April 2nd, voting will begin, where you will rank your favourite songs in a form. Any song not submitted by this date will not be featured.
• On April 8th, results of everyone’s favourite songs will be published.
