Effinsk Låttävling 2

Effinsk Låttävling 2 was the second edition of the semi regular Effish national song contest to determine Effiland's representer in WLSC. Currently it is planned to be held for the WLSC 220 with bidding phase for the graphic design and host venue open for submissions until WLSC 215 ends.

Background
The Grand Duchy of Breiðdalsbar won the previous edition with the song Oggi é Il '93 by WENDER & Arianna Palazzetti, which then represented Effiland in the Waiting List Song Contest 210 and came first with a total of 115 points. It is generally expected to be a bigger event since the previous edition was the first and rather a small scale event held in a conference center. Since public's general interest has increased over time, it is thought that the smaller bids have significantly less chance to win.

As the winning principality of the previous edition of ELT, The Grand Duchy of Breiðdalsbar is the unofficial host and strongest nominee to host the second edition of the contest.

Location
The contest was held in Braedstadt, the capital and the largest city of the Grand Duchy of Breiðdalsbar. Built in the late 1950s, the host venue Ulle Hall remains as one of the leading cultural houses of both the Grand Duchy and Effiland. After the renovation it went under in the 1990s, the venue's popularity increased and held a total of almost 400 events since its first. The auditorium area constructed as a traditional theatre with a wide backstage space which will be turned into the green room for the event.

Bidding Phase
Right after Oussou Empire's win in WLSC 213, it was announced by EfT (Effilands Television) that the bidding phase would start simultaneously with the WLSC 214's voting phase and would last until WLSC 215 end or 10 bids were made. Only six bids were made and the two of them (Eftele Sports & Events Center in Ørmund, FR and Aast Opernhus in Aast, HA) were disqualified right after the broadcaster announced that the contest would be held in the Grand Duchy, thus solidifying the custom of winning state of the previous edition to host. While Arena Braedstadt's bid was rejected because of the budgetary limitations and the extra costs, three venues were shortlisted: Dørthe Dome in Haversjomm, Ulle Hall and Braedstadt Konserthus in Braedstadt.Braedstadt Konserthus's bid thought to be the favourite to win up until it was certain that the event could not be held in the venue in the planned dates because of a scheduling conflict. Although the city of Haversjomm presented a strong bid with Dørthe Dome, producers were adamant to hold the contest in the capital city of Grand Duchy, since it is a significant event that was going to be held first time in the State and it was announced on 12th of April 2021 that the Ulle Hall in Braedstadt was the winning bid.

Format
EfT officials stated that the song submission format, modeled after Effifestivalen, Effiland's earlier national final for NSC, will stay the same as it encourages cultural exchanges and cooperation between WLSC nations. Although the total number of songs are not certain, it is expected to stay the same as the previous edition. It was announced after the bidding phase that the song submission will start after the WLSC 217 ends.

Visual Design
The bidding for the new permament logo and graphic design is open for submission simultaneously with the host venue bidding phase.

Presenters
The comedy duo Sue Perkins and Mel Giedroyc, who were the previous presenters, declined early invitations. The search for presenter(s) is an undergoing issue.
