Griffiniskaja Laul 12

Griffiniskaja Laul 12 was the twelfth edition of the Griffiniskaja Laul musical event and Nation Song Contest national final which took place in the principality of Sletterimaa following their second victory at the previous edition. This was the first edition that was used to choose a song that would represent the nation at Nation Song Contest. The winner was George Ezra representing Pzyerüyölkeä and went on to represent the country at the 207th Nation Song Contest. Sobel & sanah from Färzas – Lætingmaa finished second and Sletterlandish band WIES finished third.

Format
Seven principalities of Griffin Empire submit their entry of choice to compete in a one night final. Each principality gives 1,5,8, 10 and 12 points to their favourite songs via televoting. It is forbidden to vote to ones own principality. A number of Natian countries were invited to join the show as international juries as a tradition. These nations gave points in the same way as Griffin televoting.

International juries' votes determined Griffin representative at the 207th Nation Song Contest. Both juries and televoting combined determined the overall winner of the festival.

Following the bidding phase, it was decided that the show would be held in NÝTarrenaa that was the only venue to host the contest up to date. This was the second time that Nýtdainsk hosted the festival for Sletterimaa. Other towns that were interested included Klej, Presörsit, Legislaeting, Ejmjenspalajtsc, Kalen and Pavlopolis. The host of the show was Declan McKenna following his successful hosting gig at the Nation Song Contest 205. Declan and other special guests performed older Griffin WLSC and GL hits as part of opening and interval acts.

Regional branches of GTV had sole discretion on the process they employed to select their entry for the contest. There were no regional finals for the third edition in a row and all principalities have chosen their acts internally. Number of songs submitted was 4721 with the most of them coming from Foreõsvdetrre as expected and the least from Westersund which was unexpected.
