Dear Humanode Community,

Based on the rules set for the Humanode Music Contest (and after observing some last-minute fishy vote switching and rigging), the team went over all votes to count qualified votes.

As a result, there have been some switches in the final placements for Silver and Gold (3 Silver, 3 Gold).

The results are as follows:

GOLD -

Entry # 2  (33/37 eligible votes)
Entry # 8  (22/24 eligible votes)

Tie -
Entry # 11 (18/20 eligible votes)
Entry # 12 (18/18 eligible votes)

SILVER -

Entry # 3 (16/24 eligible votes)
Entry # 10 (13/19 Eligible votes)

After a discussion, we have decided to go for a tie-breaker vote between Entry # 11 and # 12, as the contestants may have had no control over who the eligible voters were.

The tie-breaker round will last for 72 hours (24 is too short, and 48 isn’t an offered option… sigh), and the winner of the round will get the 3rd Gold, and the one who does not win the round will get the 1st Silver.

The “Special mention” prize winners will be announced when the tie-breaker round has concluded.

As usual, vote at the Humanode Discord # sr-polls channel.  The same rules will apply as before.  Unless you were a member before Jan 27th, 2026, or had submitted a song to the contest, your vote will not count.
