**Langovision #1** is the inaugural edition of the spin-off to the Dubovision Song Contest, called the "Langovision Song Contest". It was held in Honolulu,  United States after the country's win on the previous spin-off, Randovision.

The contest was won by Buttercup representing the English language with the dub of the song "The Edge of Dawn" from the 2019 video game *Fire Emblem: Three Houses*, which was recorded in the  United States. The entry scored 241 points, finishing 6 points ahead of Danish ( Denmark) and 14 ahead of German ( Germany).

## Format

The **Langovision Song Contest** is a contest in which the competitors choose pre-existing official dubs from around the world. Unlike Dubovision however, each entry is represented by a single language, as opposed to the country they were produced in. Each head of delegation is required to choose what dub they feel should represent their assigned language for the contest.

Once it is time to vote for the top 12 best entries, all participating countries are required to submit a set of votes, or else 20 points will be deducted from their score. Other members, including those not involved with the contest, are encouraged to vote as well.

The winner of the contest will host the next spin-off event. As well, they will have to stick to the country (or... language?) that they chose for that edition.

### Edition

A total of 43 languages entered the competition, however there were also 4 *observers*, a brand new concept not seen in previous Dubovision events. Because this is a spin-off contest, only one single show was hosted, meaning all languages competed at once to have one winner.

### Results

The show took place August 13, 2023. Voting was initiated on August 7. Unlike in the main competition, only one single show was hosted with all of the entries being presented at once, since it was a smaller spin-off contest.

This edition also debuts the first time any observer entries are entered into the competiton. It was decided that these would not be ranked, but are listed here and in the YouTube playlist for the contest as a way to commemorate and bring awareness to the fact that despite their differences from the entries listed above, the different sign languages found around the world are, in fact, real languages with their own structures and rules - not just gestual transcriptions of what's spoken out loud.

And Simlish is there too.

## Notes

* As this is a contest where the languages themselves are being ranked, rather than what country they were produced in, naturally some countries were repeated twice. In this instance,  India has 2 entries (Hindi and Mizo), and the  United States has 3 entries (English, Portuguese, and Hawaiian).
	+ Also, the opening theme to *Miraculous Ladybug* is repeated twice; only one entered in the actual competition ( Romania), while the other is just an observer ( Poland).
* At the start of the contest, a poll was hosted to see if Langovision should consider Bosnian/Croatian/Montenegrin/Serbian ("Serbocroatian"), Indonesian/Malaysian ("Malay"), Hindi/Urdu ("Hindustani"), and other similar cases as separate languages, or to keep considering them varieties or dialects of the same continuum for the sake of this contest alone. It was ultimately decided that the former would be the case.
	+ Although Serbian and Croatian, alongside Indonesian and Malay did enter the contest, there was no Urdu dub submitted regardless.
* This is the first time in *Dubovision* history that a winning country had also won in the previous contest ( United States).
	+ It is also the first time that any entry has ever received Nul Points ( Slovenia).
