**Flopovision #1** is the inaugural edition of the spin-off to the Dubovision Song Contest, called the "Flopovision Song Contest". It was held in Helsinki,  Finland. On April Fools Day 2023, it was announced that Dubovision would have a spin-off contest where the point was to vote for the dub you thought sucked the most. Confirmations for entry picking closed the next day.

The contest was "won" by  Sri Lanka, with the Sinhala dub of "Friends on the Other Side" from *The Princess and the Frog*. They scored 276 points, finishing 7 points ahead of the  Uzbekistan and 20 ahead of  Somalia.

## Format

The **Flopovision Song Contest** is a contest in which the competitors choose pre-existing official dubs from around the world. Unlike Dubovision however, the dubs chosen must be those that are not of good or even acceptable quality. The submission 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 12 worst 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 that they chose for that edition.

### Edition

A total of 39 countries entered the competition. Because this is a spin-off contest that was meant merely as a topical April Fools joke, only one single show was hosted, meaning all countries competed at once to have one winner.

### Voting Process

Unlike Dubovision 1, the voting process had changed in this competition as an intentional choice to make the contest be more hectic and chaotic: Competitors were given a chance to claim the countries they want in *real-time* through a Google spreadsheet, while the producers look over the choices to ensure everything is valid.

Ironically enough, despite this being an April Fools contest, this practice would continue forth from Dubovision 2 once the producers realized how useful of an idea it was, instead of letting people publically chose what country they want in the server and DMing an admin afterwards.

### Voting Incident

During the voting process,  Somalia accidently voted for themselves (although the HOD of which also competed in Dubovision 1, where they were told not to vote for themselves there as well). Although the staff does their best to ensure that each and every vote is correct, somehow this had slipped through, causing nobody to notice until  Sri Lanka took a look at the final results barely an hour after voting had finished.

This mistake changed the final results of the competiton, as it was  Somalia vs.  Sri Lanka, instead of  Sri Lanka vs.  Uzbekistan. Once this was figured out the executive producers quickly and swiftly adjusted the results, and soon after the correct results were released onto the appropriate Discord channel showing what *should* have been the case.

 Somalia did not face any repercussions for this, but 20 points were naturally deducted as their vote did not count.

### Results

The show took place April 6, 2023. Voting was initiated on April 3. 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.

## Notes

* Originally, because this contest is meant to be the anti-thesis to Dubovision, it was intended that if a HOD didn't vote, they would get 12 points added *on* to their final score. However, this was quickly retracted as it was realized that HODs could use this to their advantage in the competition (for better or worse). Therefore, it was decided to stick to the original system of deducting points, but raising the number to 20.
* The  United Kingdom entry in the competition, the outro theme to *Inazuma Eleven*, was actually recorded in  Hong Kong. It was wrongly submitted under the wrong country.
* During the competition, Walter Melon slowly became merely iconic because of how bizzare the entry was, becoming a fan favorite among many in the Dubovision fandom.
