Griffiniskaja Laul 7

Griffiniskaja Laul 07 was the seventh edition of the Griffiniskaja Laul musical event and Waiting List Song Contest national final which took place in Pyetsit, capital of the principality of Eestimadnait (today known as Westersund) following their victory at the previous edition. The festival was used to determine Griffin representative at the 220th Waiting List Song Contest.

The winner of the festival was the principality of Pzyerüyölkeä with the song "Till Forever Falls Apart" performed by Ashe & Finneas. This was the first time Pzyerüyölkeä has won the contest.

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.

It was revealed on all big social, printed and broadcast media that the host for the 7th edition would be Griffin singer Charlie Puth. The official photoshoot was revealed on the biggest billboard at Bitniska Tere square in Pyetsit during the 100 days till Laul ceremony. Postcards were dedicated to the capitals of 7 principalities of the Griffin Empire and featured iconic, historic and prominent buildings like the ÜKS skyscraper in Kralingslæting, cathedral of Frisköptislæting and Opera House of Nýtdainsk.

Another victory meant that the contest would stay in Eestimadnait (Westersund) and represented a budget challenge for the hosting principality as well as their branch of GTV. It was expected that the 7th contest would be held in Pyetsit or in another previous host city that was experienced with hosting. After the bidding phase was opened, it was obvious that the interest for hosting was low. Only Pyetsit, Filipolis and Sania applied to host the event. Later, the regional broadcaster then known as GTVEEM and GTV confirmed that the contest would be held in Pyetsit.

Songs selection
Once again, the regional broadcasters got to choose their representatives completely on their own. Regional branches of GTV had sole discretion on the process they employed to select their entry for the contest, although the GTV strongly encouraged that broadcasters engage the public with the selection of their act. Four principalities decided to hold a televised regional selection process using a public vote. Others have chosen their acts internally.

Total number of songs submitted was higher than at the previous edition at 3 752 with the most of them coming from Foreõsvdetrre and the least from Pzyerüyölkeä.
