**Dubovision #3** is the third edition of the Dubovision Song Contest. This edition will be held in Warsaw,  Poland, following Daria Zawiałow's victory with her song "Lend Me Your Voice" in the Polish dub of the movie Belle. This edition was unveiled on July 1, 2023, with confirmations for entry picking closed on July 15.

The contest was won by Park Ji-yoon and Go Hye-rim, representing  South Korea with the Korean dub of "Crossing the Line" from the animated television series *Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure*. They scored 234 points, finishing 39 points ahead of  Ukraine and 70 ahead of  Japan.

## Format

The **Dubovision Song Contest** is a contest in which the competitors are pre-existing official dubs from around the world. The voting process involves one country being picked by those who enter the contest. The person who picked that country must chose what dub they feel should represent their pick for the contest.

Once it is time to vote for the top 10 favorite entries for each semi, that country will be required to vote for the semi relevant to them, or else 12 points will be deducted. Other members, including those not involved with the contest, are encouraged to vote as well.

The winner of the contest will represent the next edition. As well, they will have to stick with the country that they chose in that edition.

### Edition

A total of 57 countries signed up to enter the competition, with 3 of them hosting a national final to decide which dub should be chosen. Once confirmations closed, a running order was chosen, and the competing countries were split into two semi-finals, with a remaining few comprising of the automatic qualifiers.

The first semi and second semis both included 26 countries, with the respective ten qualifying out of each semi-final, joining the five automatic qualifiers in the final.

The gay scoreboard voice call from Dubovision 2 remained as points were revealed, being *just* as chaotic as last time with amazing soundboard usage, and featuring unexpected guest stars Fat Dog Mendoza, JordanYT, Share Bear, and Swiper, among others. This will become a customary practice in the main competition moving forward.

## Notes

* Originally, the  France HOD settled on their entry, being a *Regal Academy* song, however once the competition started it was pointed out that the dub originates from  Belgium, and the admin team hadn't caught this in time. Luckily, the running order generation made France in the second semi, so it was still time for their entry to revert to what they had previously. France was also robbed btw.
	+ Similarly, the HOD of  Jordan originally submitted the song under  Lebanon, as they had thought this was the country of origin for the song due to the dubbing cast. This was also not too late to be corrected.
* Before the competition had started, it was decided to reduce the amount of people on the staff team to the essentials, splitting up the roles to "Executive Producers" and "Admins". This means that there were (and will continue to be) less automatic qualifiers in the grand final than there normally would have been.
* The  Georgia HOD was kicked from the Discord server and eliminated from the contest for being very disruptive to fellow members of the competition. As the disruption only started to become a huge problem at the grand final, 12 points were deducted from their entry, and the votes they gave to other countries were deleted.
* Unfortunately,  Romania had accidentally voted for themselves before the votes were able to be verified by the admin team, and this was only found out during the gay scoreboard time. 7 points were given to literally nothing because of this, as it was too late to do anything.
* The wonderful entry of  Slovenia, the "Song of the Cebu", or as one would say in Slovene, **ZEEEEEEEBUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU**, became a server-wide meme due to the entry barely classifying as a song, and once the singing actually happens, it causes ears to bleed and the disruption of the universe collapses upon itself. So yeah, great entry
