You're free to let your community / instance know, to be prepared for when the event starts 🤗
Explanation:
Lemmyvision is an annual song contest that's held here on the threadiverse, with the name inspired by "Eurovision". Instances nominate and choose songs to send into the contest on behalf of their country/region/niche, and then there's another round of voting to choose the winner. We've participated twice so far, articles about those times here:

Here is what the contest community has in their sidebar:
Welcome to the Lemmyvision Song Contest where communities and instances of Lemmy submit a song and vote on their favourites!
The aim is to promote different languages and cultures from around the world, to share more between our online communities across Lemmy, and discover songs from lesser known artists.
The second edition of Lemmyvision ran from March 1st to April 8th, stay tuned for the next event ! 🎶
Can someone please explain what this is?
Hey, I'm the one organising it, tldr it's a song contest where instances of Lemmy nominate a song from their area of interest, then everybody votes for their favourite!
Longer version: some years ago on reddit, r/Europe was organising Eureddivision which is basically the Eurovision song contest but within reddit (countries subreddits nominate a song in their language(s)). I wanted Lemmy to have something similar, inviting Lemmy instances to participate ; "the aim is to promote different languages and cultures from around the world, to share more between our online communities across Lemmy, and discover songs from lesser known artists." (that's from the sidebar).
Its a bit different than Fedivision, that one has the fediverse submit songs they created, whereas in Lemmyvision, songs are from any artists
I'll edit the context into the post, sorry about that
