A new date has been announced for Pan-ArcticVision 2025 by competition organisers.
The third edition of Pan-ArcticVision will now be held on November 29, having originally been planned to take place on October 18. According to organisers the date change is due to ‘circumstances beyond our reach’. The final of the competition will still take place in Iqaluit, Nunavut as previously announced.
A call for entries for the contest was held earlier this year, with the following territories eligible to participate alongside local partner organisations:
- Alaska (USA) – Anchorage Museum
- Faroe Islands – Norðurlandahúsið
- Greenland – Katuaq Culture Centre
- Nord Norge – Norway
- Norra Sverige – Sweden – Bd Pop Norrbotten
- Nunavut (Canada) – Alianait Arts Festival
- Sápmi – Finland/Norway/Sweden
- Yukon & Northwest Territories (Canada)
To date, one participant has been announced with Shauna Seeteenak due to represent the host region of Nunavut.
Pan-ArcticVision is loosely based on the Eurovision Song Contest and was first held in 2023. The contest aims to bring together the peoples of the Arctic. All of the artists competing in the contest were chosen by cultural organisations across the Arctic.
Three categories are awarded prizes in each edition:
- The most Arctic song
- The song that gives the most feeling of community and togetherness
- The most revolutionary song
