🪗 Forró EuroVision Contest | Showcase the Diversity of European Forró Bands

1) 🤌SUMMARY: *Based loosely on the EuroVision Song Contest, each region/country in Europe sends a local forró band to compete for prizes and showcase local talent.* 2) 🗯️DETAILED IDEA: *WHAT is the objective?* - To showcase and recognise the talents of locally based forró bands from around Europe. - To create a European-uniting experience *HOW would it look like?* -> An established festival would partner with FoFed to dedicate their festival to a forró band contest, with an awards ceremony at the end that recognises local bands. -> FoFed and the host festival grant awards to the winner bands in categories such as "new music", "novel renditions", "creativity", "cultural fidelity", "makes-you-dance factor" or other qualities that the community wishes to celebrate in our music scene -> The selection of bands to showcase happens in a uniform selection process across the continent, developed in collaboration with FoFed and it´s regional ambassadors (check here our current setup of Forró regions and it´s ambassadors: https://forrofederation.com/about-the-federation/t…) 3) ℹ️*NOTES / WHAT HAPPENS IF THIS IDEA GETS UPVOTED* If you vote for this idea, it is mandatory to also comment below if YOU YOURSELF would participate in making it reality - either as a partnering festival organizer, or by leading the initiative, by being part of a volunteering team, or putting yourself forward as a band to showcase your talents If we want to realize this idea, we will need feedback to estimate the expected participation & demand!
