Format
Seven principalities of Griffin Empire submitted their entry of choice to compete in a one night final. Each principality gave 1,5,8 10 and 12 points to their favourite songs via televoting. It was forbidden to vote for ones own principality. Eleven Natian countries were part of the international juries with five more nations broadcasting the show live. The jury nations gave points in the same way as Griffin televoting.

International juries' votes determined Griffin representative at the Waiting List Song Contest. Both juries and televoting combined determined the overall winner of the festival.

The theme of the contest was the host principality - Eestimadnait (Westersund). Postcards showed different locations throughout three Estlandic duchies. The presenter and host of the evening was the previous winner Iiris Vesik.

The contest was held in Eestimadnait (Westersund). It was the second time (in a row) the principality would host the contest. The executive supervisor of the show announced that the main channel GTV 1 would co-organise the event with Westersundic regional broadcaster then known as GTV EEM. A spokesperson for GTV stated that the broadcaster would select the host city announcing the first "open bidding phase". Seven cities — Pyetsit, Filipolis, Sania, Rizsit, Busk, Vilabradwõt and Õhtingsvilajet applied and had to compile their bid books to demonstrate their capabilities to host the contest. During this period, town of Õhtingsvilajet withdrew because of both its size and unsuitable venue. Later it was announced that Rizsit would host the event.
