Nation Song Contest 205

Nation Song Contest 205 was the 205th edition of the Nation Song Contest and was hosted in Kralingslæting, national capital of Griffin Empire as well as capital of Griffin Principality of Foreõsvdetrre and centre of Kralingslæting Duchy, following the nation's successful debut and second place in the previous edition. It was Griffin's first hosting of the contest and was organised under the theme of "Natiavision" simulating all aspects of the Eurovision experience. With one of the main goals being introduction of the new NSC roster member to other nations, the show was heavily focused on Griffin culture, language and history, but also had references to neighbouring nations, especially Tybalteva, Ugaly and Pyreica, as well as the previous winning nation - Sundfør. It was held in nation's iconic Kralarrenaa with presenters being previous runner-up Declan McKenna and actor Alex Lawther.

Following strict deadlines as many as six nations (Aimūlli, Comino, Perryfornia, QuiénDQ, Redwood Republic and Tír an Abhainn) failed to confirm their participation, with two more (Blackmere and Tuzi) announcing their breaks. Three nations returned to the contest - Belvist, Ic-Sa-Calli and Solentoya which meant that total of 52 competing nations would be competing.

The winner of the contest was Svobodnia with their first victory. Their song "In the Dark" performed by Purple Disco Machine & Sophie and the Giants collected 170 points total. In second place was Kamandé, whose song "The Library" finished with 12 points less than the winner and achieved the nation's best ever result in the contest. Third place went to Rahasia-Diati and their song "Largs". Belvist, Rumia and Tcher-Racoi rounded up top 6 meaning they are pre-qualified for the next edition's final.
