**Dubovision 2022**, considered the pilot episode by many fans of the competition, was originally the inaugural edition of the Dubovision Song Contest. The trailer was released on April 3, 2022. Every entry was uploaded to YouTube on the official channel by April 18 and the first semi started on May 7, 2022.

Unfortunately, during voting for the second semi, the contest was cancelled due to personal reasons. The juries still held interest in hosting the contest again, which eventually happened in the next year.

## Format

### Background

The **Dubovision Song Contest** is a contest in which the competitors are pre-existing official dubs from around the world. The voting process involves a video presenting all entries in each semi, and the viewers use the YouTube comments to vote their top 10.

The submissions this time around were half suggestions by members of the community, while the juries behind the contest picked which ones for each 80 countries, who supplied their own picks in some cases.

### Edition

80 countries participated in the contest, although originally it was 81 countries given that Myanmar had to be withdrawled from the contest.

Once the votes for each semi were added up, the intention was to form a top 7 entries that could make it to the Grand Final, with a possible qualifier lagging right behind.

Since the contest was cancelled, only the voting results for the first semi were revealed, and after the second semi (to which the points were not counted), voting ceased entirely. Since the entries were all picked by the juries, no country was required to vote for their entry as well, given that it was not possible.

## Participants

### Semi-Final 1

With the release of the first semi-final's video, voting took place May 7, 2022.

### Semi-Final 2

With the release of the second semi-final's video, voting took place May 22, 2022. The video is now blocked worldwide, except in Canada, because of Kyrgyzstan's entry.

Since the edition was cancelled, no points were added up.

### Semi-Final 3

There is no running order for the next two semis, given that it was to be decided once the video on each semi was completed.

## Other Countries

* Myanmar - As it was discovered that the Mizo dub of "Let It Grow" from *The Lorax* was produced in India, a replacement for Myanmar was not feasible; The country went unused.
* All of the countries were carefully picked manually. No country that regularly produces dubs was excluded.

## Notes

* In semi-final 1 (and, if the edition were to have continued, the rest of the semis), the points of the countries that did not make it into the top 7 (along with the possible qualifier) were not initially revealed to the public.
	+ In semi-final 2, due to the edition being cancelled, the points of every entry in the semi were never calculated.
* The entry for Türkiye, the *We Bare Bears* opening theme, broke one of Dubovision's rules to not be under the length of at least 30 seconds. Despite this, an exception was made, because there weren't many better choices at the time.
	+ Similarly, despite a rule amongst the juries that the same media in a franchise mustn't be repeated, *Winx Club* and *Encanto* were both reused twice for necessity.
* Before "Let It Grow" in Mizo was being used as the entry for India, *The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy* opening theme in Hindi ("Billy Mandy Aur Life Mein Haddi") was being used initially.
	+ For a very brief while, "The Gummy Bear Song" in Hindi was originally going to represent India instead.
* The Persian dub of the *Sonic X* opening was originally meant to represent Iran. This does not match where the dub was actually produced in, which is the United Kingdom. To play it safe, this was scrapped.
* Taiwan was originally given the same song as Australia, "Who's Got the Power?" from *The Powerpuff Girls* 2016 reboot. This was changed as it was not fair to give two countries the same song.
	+ This entry for Taiwan re-entered in Dubovision 1.

### Footnotes

1. ↑ Although the French dub of the show *Care Bears: Welcome to Care-a-Lot* itself is from Belgium, the opening theme was actually sang in France. Unlike "Let It Grow", this was discovered when it was far too late, and could not be corrected.
2. ↑ Originally, "Let It Grow" was representing for Myanmar. During production the staff was informed that the dub was actually produced in India.
