Nation Song Contest 56

Nation Song Contest 56 was the 56th edition of the Nation Song Contest, hosted in Viola Per Sempre, who was joint 4th in the previous contest. This was because the top 4 of the previous edition were all on a national holiday at some point during this edition, letting the hosting job fall to VPS. This was the first edition since NSC 41 that the previous edition's winner was unable to defend their title, as Zaprya was again unable to participate. Roseland and Orangualia made their debut. This edition was the first ever instance of a tied winner, with both Pigeon Island and Horehronieland finishing on 136 points, and the lowest winning score since NSC 4, whose winner received 84 points. Pigeon Island won the tie-break and therefore gained their first NSC title.
